    It would help if you post your engine and complete your profile. Probably ignition related. Arching plug wire or one that is burned through somewhere, cracked distributor cap, cracked porcelin on plug? Have you changed any ignition parts yet?

    I have put on new wires and plugs before the new carb.
    Didnt notice a problem before the carb, so i was thinking it was the carb.?.
    Why does CD60 think its ignition?

    Well I misunderstood your post then. I thought you put the carb on because of the stumble. If it started with the carb replacement, it's probably the carb. Is it a rebuilt? I'd take it back and exchange it.

    Sounds like the carb. Take it back and get another one.

    Well,
    it was carb problems.
    I went to a carb specialist. The Accellerator pump was not functioning. It had the wrong parts installed.
    All is good now !
