Hi folks - I rebuilt the carburetor on my 272 and now, trying to get my truck to start, have major flooding issues. When I say rebuilt I mean I took this thing and replaced every piece inside with a rebuild kit. There is a *chance* I missed a gasket somewhere of course, even though I took a piece off, then replaced it with its new replacement; rather than take it all apart and just throw pieces on. If I did miss a gasket, which one in particular would cause flooding? I'd rather not go through the whole thing again if I can avoid it.


Thanks in advance...

Never mind. I answered my own question. The nozzle bars and booster venturis were loose. I forgot a gasket on the accelerator pump discharge nozzle and fuel basically spilled straight out of the bowl through the jets and into the intake. Doh.

 

Glad to help.

 

Indispensable help 'round here.
