Engine Tech / Hesitates on Acceleration from Stop - 1985 Cougar 3.8L Carb
1985 Cougar 3.8L Carb

I just got my "new" Cougar with 73,000 kms. It's in beautiful shape overall. However, when it starts up from cold, it idles rough. Also, when I accelerate from a stop, unless  I gun it, it almost always hesitates and seems like it wants to stall.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? I'm new to this forum and would really appreciate your help!

God Bless.
