OK, Thats it!!!! I thought I impressed myself by rebuilding my Rochester 7029240 4bbl. I had a sense of accomplishment and confidence. I removed all pieces of my carb and soaked it in carb cleaner and assembled with new rebuilt kit. ALL EXCITED, I REINSTALLED THE CARB ANTICIPATING MY ENGINE PURRING (or ROARING) LIKE A CAT. I turned the key to let the electric fuel pump build pressure and then started the engine. WWWOOOOOWWWW, just like old faithful, gas was spewing out of the carb!!! What did I do wrong???o No:
It is flooding. The first place to look is the needle/seat, and float level. Are they set correctly? A bad float will hold the needle off it's seat and flood the carb.
I had that happen to my LeSabre when I rebuilt the carb. It was the float. I had forgotten to set it properlyou: ou: ou: That reminds me...I need to rebuild the qjet in my convertible:gt:
Carb School :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :beer WHOOOOOOO!!!!!! Thanks so much guys!! Recalibraded the float and it solved the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If this was school, I think i would get a C+. Next carb i will get an A Again, thanks Gord
