Small question, My 66's 350 has an Edelbrock 750 Four barrel carb. Every time when starting the motor after being recently driven, the carb floods itself. It always starts with some excessive cranking and some floor stomping but it's beginning to become irritating. I'm sure it's a common problem but I'm not much of a carb guy. Thoughts on the matter? Thanks a lot!

TOO MUCH CARB!
Plus the carb float is probably out of adjustment.

A 650 would be borderline too much too.

It could be too much fuel pump pressure or heat is causeing the gas to percolate.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Oups, the 750 was a typo, it is a 650. I'll look up how to adjust it, I hope that's all there is too it. It has a stock fuel-pump on it so I assume it's not too much pressure. I might see about a rebuild kit first because it seems as though it leaks a little fuel out of it at times.
