cd45 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 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.

ferox Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 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.

skishop69 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd45 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
