I have noticed that when I try to start my truck on a hot summer day (100 deg.) in Oklahoma it will FLOOD without even stepping on the gas. On a cool morning (70 deg.) it starts up just fine if I dont step on the gas. If I pump the peddle at all before trying to start it will flood no matter what type of temperature there is outside. This is a factory carb, do I need to clean it, try and adjust it, get it rebuilt or buy a new one?
