serious flooding
 

My 86 pickup with a 350 floods BIG TIME. I've owned for about 2 months and basically moved it in and out of the garage for body work. However, I've destroyed two sets of plugs from flooding and don't know where to begin with adjustments. Both times it started fairly easily initially but killed and refused to refire. Once it gets warm it seems to run fairly good. Where should I start? The carb and engine are stock.

Sounds like a messed up choke to me.

You can lean out the electric choke by loosening (not removing) the 3 screws around the choke housing and turning the black part counterclockwise. You want the choke plate about 1/8" open when cold starting. If that doesnt help try holding the choke plate open while starting (DO NOT have face over the carb while doing this.... might lose your eyebrows or worse). That should keep the choke from adding more fuel.
Good Luck and let us know.
