I agree with the booster, Send it here if it is found to be bad:

    Test the check valve while you are at it.

    Almost every time I have had that problem, either the idle

    the pilot jet was clogged. Either of these will cause the engine
    to die every time you take your foot off the gas.


    Your first statement    "Symptoms: Coming up to a red light or
    stop sign as I am braking"  leads me to believe your brake
    booster is bad. I have had first hand experience with this
    problem as well.


    To test your booster, put you foot hard on the brake, then start
    the engine. You should feel the pedal move slightly. The same
    should happen when the engine is running and you turn it off
    while your foot is on the brake. I this does not happen, the
    booster is bad.

    Ok, bus has been running ok these last few weeks but yesterday
    driving home the bus stopped wanting to idle.

    Symptoms: Coming up to a red light or stop sign as I am braking
    the oil light flicks in and off ,  oil pressure is dropping down
    to 0 in relationship to the tach dropping  to zero (bus dies)
    have to keep foot on gas pedal to try and keep the idle at 1100
    or 1200.... not good.

    I pulled the Pict 34 and blew out the jets and gas.. remounted
    it. Fuel filter looks good, replaced it 2 months ago when I had
    the same problem.....

    the common denominator here is like 2 months ago  the dizzy was
    loose (the clamp came loose back then and I thought hey its just
    the dizzy moved) I bought a new "made in china" clamp from Kermit
    and it came loose too yesterday , tighten it down and the bolt
    snapped, might have to buy one of those nice aluminum blue ones
    for $30 clams...

    Anyone I reset the dizzy in the engine last night and it still
    wont idle (no clamp to hold it down) but the dizzy doesn't pop
    out like you'd think it would (the chatter spring is in there)

    so if anyone in Houston has a pict 34 I can borrow and throw on
    the engine to test this weekend that would be great...
