Flakey Fluid Drive

[48Windsor]

My old Windsor 6 cyl fluid drive is getting pretty flakey when moving slowly after the downshift in both high and low range. It will just up and die. Starts right back up. If I feather the accelerator it will go ahead and speed up and shift normally. It only happens when trying to idle along or when I barely touch the accelerator. Could the points in the governor be causing this, or the solenoid or ign interupter?? Its been pretty flawless for two years until now. Its kind of hard to translate whats happening. I've adjusted the about as high as I dare to still get a proper shift

I've read through the troubleshooting stuff, but don't really see anything that addresses this symptom.

On a side note, I've never been happy with the accelerator pump I got in the rebuild kit from Mikes Carb. It never fit tight enough in my opinion and I've always had to feather it when starting out, but have never had a problem with it dying.

Any suggestions welcome.

Does the car idle fine in neutral, sitting? With the car in gear, engine idling, stopped, foot on the brake holding car still, does the engine stall?

An accelerator pump was my thought before I even got that far down in your text.

Yeah, the accelerator pump is my first thought also. It does need to be corrected. But, its being difficult to pinpoint as it seems to vary. I would say it idles fine in neutral, and  it does fine in gear. It seems to die most when at a moving idle. Coming home from a little group gathering today, it up and died after the down shift idling around the driveway to garage.
