carburetor
I received a new remanufactured carburetor from Summit (Autolite 1100/1101) for my F350 w/ a 4.9L I6 and it is still flooding. Should I change the fuel pump? What could be causing the truck to not start or the carburetor to leak gas?

I believe it is the original or exact replacement, mechanical fuel pump specific to the 4.9L inline 6 300, so it has no regulator, and I do not know the pressure it is putting out.

You may still have to set the carburetor's float level and mixture.
The instructions are in your service manual.
If your fuel pump is original, it should have a filter on it. Change it.
As to what could cause the carburetor to flood, it's the float level.
You may also need to change the needle and seat, I'd try to get a Viton needle, if possible.
