Today the burb stranded me. The float is sticking on my 1 barrel. I rebuilt it 2 months ago. What's wrong? (235 6 cyl)

sticking or sinking? if sticking you should be able to carefully bend it to clear everything, but it may be that there's something wrong with the needle or seat - if it's sinking you're best off to find a new one - I had one that started leaking this fall, and it flooded the poor 6 but good! frown

Opened the carb and there was a good bit of trash. Cleaned it out and cut the gasket a bit bigger around the floats just to be sure.
