Re: carb help! Please
I believe that is an air relief so your floats may be set to high

Re: carb help! Please
YOur float is set too high or stuck. Try tapping it with a soft mallet or back side of a screwdriver. If that doesn't stop it, you will need to reset the float.

Re: carb help! Please
If it has a rubber fuel line going into the carb ,you can clamp it off with vice grips then start the truck and run it out of gas. then tap the bowl ,this works a little better to un stick a stubborn float.

Re: carb help! Please
On top of the bowl. Take the carb off, open the bowl, float operates a needle valve thing. Take it apart and make sure theres not a small piece of metal or somthing blocking the seat. Don't know how to set the float.

Copy and paste this into your browser's address bar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=Kj3igH-i7SU
It will show you how to set the float level.
