Carb Problems, Flooding
Been having some trouble with my truck lately.
I believe its carb related, but not sure. Truck seems to run fine when cool (morning and night). It runs rough and dies when in the heat. I can drive it about 6 miles or so then it dies. Doesn't want to start. When it dies I pull the air cleaner off and notice gas coming out of the carb (A & B in picture). Some gas also comes out of the sides and puddles on the manifold. Not sure where these leaks are coming from but my guess is around linkage and maybe the gasket. C (front barrels) in the picture has a little bit of white/grey looking smoke, very little bit. My guess is the float or needle and seat are not functioning correctly and flooding the carb and killing the engine. Its odd though that it only seems to do it in the heat, or maybe it only does it sooner in the heat. It starts to idle low, then dies usually at a stop, sometimes on take-off. Have not been able to drive it too much because it shuts down. Anyway died three times on me yesterday, wouldn't fit on a friends trailer so I had to get towed, $62.00 . Full manifold vacuum is about 17-19 Timing is 8 degrees Idle it about 725rpm (manual trans) Operating temperature is normal. Oil level and pressure is normal. What do you guys think? Anything to try?
