Greetings, again. who knew that changing a fuel filter would cause me so much trouble today. The old one's threads sheared off when I tried to remove them - so i finally get them out, put the new filter on and cranked it just to find that my carb is overflowing with fuel: it wont quit flooding itself. I took the carb off, took the float chamber apart, found a small brass fitting lying in the bottom. I reseated it and noticed the float itself was sticking. so I freed it and tweaked it a little. I put it all back together, figuring I had figured it all out, but everytime I try to crank it, it just dumps fuel all over itself, drowning out. Any ideas? am I missing something? P.S. it's the stock carter 1 bbl on a 250 c.i. inline 6
What engine? Sounds like your needle either fell out or is not seating correctly. Float could be sticking to.
idiot me..... yeah, you mentioned the needle...um I'm just realizing that I think it was in the brass fitting that sheared-off the front of my carb with the old filter. thanks for the quick help! okay...time to call the parts store. a.p. out
