If gas continues to run in after the engine dies you have a problem with the needle & seat. A piece of dirt may have got into it. Are you sure the float is not full of gas? Check the float level & make sure it is not hanging up on the sides of the bowl. You may have too much fuel pressure from the pump. If you have a vacuum gauge most of them have a pressure tester also. It should not be over 3-4 lbs. If it is a lean condition, make sure the accel. pump is working. It should squirt gas into the throat when you move the throttle from closed position.Make sure the power valve piston goes in the hole & nocks the ball off the seat.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
