poltroon Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 turns over, but doesnt start, but it HAS started and ran briefly, but stalled. Seems like its flooding very quickly, like its not restricted at all, just flows and flows. Someone have some insight into where I can start troubleshooting this? 69 w/j13. What information can I gather to aid troubleshooting? Theres spark at the plug, so it doesnt appear to be that. Any help is appreciated. thanks. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Fuel should be at the horizontal line on the glass at the front of the carb. Put some rags under the front and carefully remove the three screws, the cover and the glass. Carefully save the rubber gasket. Clean the gasket and the groove it sits in. The float hinges on a horizontal pin Take note there is a very small brass spacer on this pin between the glass and the float that is easily knocked off and lost. If the float is brass it could have a leak, fill with gas and sink. Some later ones were solid phenolic resin and couldn't sink. Quote Link to comment
poltroon Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 thanks for the detailed explanation. I got the float out and cleaned up. Put everything back, and bang, started right up. Got gas all over the place, but, its running. thanks! -pol Quote Link to comment
