January 11, 201412 yr I had to take the top of off the carb today. After i put itback together it will not start. After i let go of the key I can see gas shoot back out the top of the carb. I pulled it off the car and pulled it apart again. I put it back together and reinstalled it. Nothing changed. Gas shoots out the top of the carb when you quit turning the key, and it will not start. I think it is flooding but, cant figure out why. Please help.
January 11, 201412 yr Why did you have to take the top off the carb and what did you do when you had the top off? Gas shooting out of the carb is often a timing or valve issue. There really isn't anything that you could have done to the carb to cause that by itself.
January 11, 201412 yr If you got the float adjusted wrong or it's stuck, then gas is going to shoot out of the bowl vent at the top of the carb.
January 13, 201412 yr Author I managed to mess up the float adjustment. When I pulled it back apart and readjusted the float, it worked perfectly. Now I save up and buy a Weber.
