Dose it have a mechanical fuel pump, with the plastic vent line goins to carb?
Bad fuel pump flooding the carb.? |

Only takes a tiny piece of crud in the needle and seat, and it will keep pouring gas in the engine. Start the engine and look down the carb, for dripping gas at idle from the boosters or even vent tube

Make sure you change the oil after you fix the issue.
If your dumping all that fuel down the carburetor you are diluting the oil with fuel and washing down the cylinder walls and bearings etc. Mark |
You guys are very helpful. Carb was dumping way to much fuel fouling my plugs and causing the engine to run so terribly. Thanks for the input
|
Do the carbs have chokes on them? If so, and the chokes/choke is stuck closed will cause a overly rich/flooding condition as well.
Just something easy that noone else said yet. |

just rebuilt carbs. don't get stuck in the mindset-"i just fixed that. it has to be something else." you could have missed a detail, or a new power valve had a very short life or something like that.

You just can't expect this level of quality advice to come out this fast all the time. |
I would put a good inline fuel filter before the fuel pump.
