T/Q flooding FIXED
« on: June 04, 2006 - 09:57:08 PM »
Rebuilt my T/Q last fall. Have had no poblems till today, would not run well & died, found two right rear cylinders full of gas. Took apart carb./checked floats & needle valves. Same problem still. What am I overlooking?  :1zhelp:

Hmmm...not too sure but I'm curious why the 2 right rear cylinders.

Are you sure it's a fuel problem?  Are you getting good spark at those cyinders?

what intake are you using ?
normally if the 2 right rear cylinders are full , both sides of the carb are flooding on a dual plane intake
 dirt in the needle & seat will flood the carb , are you using a fuel  filter & has it been changed recently ?

There  is a LOT of gas  in the cylinders, Spark is not the issue.

Stock 73 intake. New pump filter & lines last fall when rebuilt.   I'll change the filter & blow some carb cleaner thru this time.


Thanks guys

Found the problem  :bananasmi I'M A ROYAL DONKEYS REAR  :icon16: When I rebuilt the carb I did not replace the seats  :grinno: as mileage was not the issue, just needed to clean & replace accelerator pump. I had replaced the needle valves & guess what.........they are different by a micro-inch   ??? . Put new seats in & apparently everything is GROOVY once again  :smokin: . Don't ask me how it held up this long.
