Hiya folks.
My dad rebuilt the Rochester B carb(numbers say it is a '59 carb) for his '57 235 which is in his '53 chevy truck.
That is a mess of parts...
Anyway, when he first put rebuilt the carb., he could not get it to idle. He decided to take it back apart and double check everything.
Yesterday, he got it all back together and fired up the truck. He adjusted on it some and it would idle nicely on it's own once it got warmed up, then he played with the distributor timing some.
Then he seemed to back it off a little too much on the carb. idle adjustment and it died. Then it didn't want to fire right back up. Pop was officially tired of foolin' with it and called it a day.
So, we can get it cranked, and eventually warmed up but is there some adjusting somewhere that we are missing?
