My Ercoupe is a '46 415-C with C-85 with O-200 crankshaft. When it's below 40 F, with the engine warmed up, if you push the throttle in even a little fast the engine will cough and sputter. if you push it in fast you can even kill the engine. The other day just after I landed I goosed the throttle a bit and killed the engine right on the runway. It idles great and has great power in flight.Engine run ups are normal. Static RPM is normal. My carb has no accelerator pump or mixture control. In warm weather I have no problems at all. It did this last winter too, but when spring came I forgot all about it. Anybody have any suggestions? Mine is the only airplane that I've had any experience with so your help is welcomed. Thanks, Randy Hougham Grandpa's Ercoupe NC87384
