Help with Flooding Carb
I've been dealing with a problem for a while now that is quite annoying. My Carb is flooding when I hit a bump or go up or down a steep incline.
About a month ago, I removed the fuel filter I had between the pump and carb and it stopped flooding alltogether. I could jump a ravine like Dukes of Hazzard and no flood. Well, it's started up again the past few days and I'm not sure what the real problem is.
65 352, 2 bbl, all stock under hood (except headers).. well, after market ac, electric fan... so not really all stock.
Oh, and oil leak.. I have oil accumilating around the front of the block. Seems to be coming from the itake manifold and/or timing cover.
That timing cover looks like a pain in the a$$ to remove because of the harmonic balancer... does that have to come off to replace gasket? ugh.
any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Sounds like the ''needle and seat'' is sticking open and allowing too much fuel into the floatbowl?..I would get a new carb kit and rebuild the carb! not that hard to do!
Plus, put a new filter on! the filter is not the problem!
As far as the ''oil leak'',the 352 FE's are common for a oil leak around the intake manifold'
Someone will be on hear to tell you what to do about that!
