I pulled the plugs a week or two ago. They were all black. I cant remember if they were oily/wet black, or just black. They are new from when I rebuilt the carb, but the floats havent been working the whole time either so.. they might be black because of that. Dunno, could be a stuck oil ring I...

Man I saw this post after I already got it back together. I unscrewed the floats and bent the anti-slosh tabs way back to keep them from interfering. They are actually touching the float seat body. I did make sure to hold behind the float with needle nose pliers while bending to avoid putting...

Oil pump is original! Fuel pump is new. Im going to see how big of a difference getting the floats set correctly makes and go from there. Should be noticeable. Replacing the valve stem seals doesnt look like too big of a job. Time consuming but nothing difficult. Parts are only 16$ (1$ per...

Float needle is for sure not upside down. Ive messed with floats before so I know what goes where and how it works, but Im having trouble getting it adjusted correctly. I dont think I understand how to correctly adjust the float level. Im almost positive the floats shouldnt be hitting those...

Is the anti slosh plate the thing circled in white? One of them was actually loose, used a punch and a hammer to tighten up the rivet. Those are what Im using to adjust the float level. Is that wrong? Something tells me it is. The manual shows the floats being parallel with the gasket surface...

Ill give that a try soon. Maybe Monday. Wheres this anti slosh plate you speak of? Is it in the carb body or the airhorn that Im holding that the floats are connected to?

I know those arent great pictures you get the idea. I tried to set both floats from 5/16-7/16, somewhere in that range. It is very tricky to get it dead on. Float drop was 1" give or take 1/16" Car started right up and idled. Sounds a bit better. When you rev it up it doesnt backfire loudly...

No you didnt. Lol Ordered the new gaskets. I hate doing it but it makes more sense to order a set of 5.. from summit it was 19$ shipped. Dunno if I will get them Saturday or Monday.. but when I do, Ill get it apart and take pictures of me putting it back together and measuring the float level/drop.

Got the new floats in today, set the fuel drop to 1" +/- , and the fuel level to 7/16". Airhorn/float bowl gasket ripped. Tried to put it back together anyway hoping it would be ok, car wont idle the slightest bit and you have to pump the gas several times to get it going. Making a hissing...

OK cool. I must be used to other forums. I have seen people try their best to dictate what others do over the internet. Very silly... I might be able to get pics of the current float needles/seats tomorrow for you. No guarantees though. Hoping these better seats/needles fix a few of my...

You may hate me for this but I already ordered them from Summit. Should ship tomorrow and have them later in the week. Hoping I get them before Friday or Saturday. Im no expert and dont know a ton about this stuff, but I dont see any reasons not to run them on the street and have searched all...

Thanks for the part numbers. I will order them monday, those look like they would seal much much better than the ones that are in there. Those look exactly like what they use in my motocross bike carb and I dont ever have float issues with it. As for spring loaded or no spring loaded, they are...

Alright Ill do it tomorrow or Monday. What seats should I order? Looks like the 2 piece needle/seats are the way to go. Mine are 1 piece... they hang up a bit. Why not the spring loaded?

Yeah Im almost positive the floats are sticking. I have all the symptoms, black spark plugs, real rough sorta misfiring idle, excessive gas consumption, easy cold starting/hard hot.. etc. Im sick of messing with my floats, they dont look like they would work real good. A small little rubber...

I dont do it much because it is loud. Ill make sure not to do it as much. Put some gas in the tank today and it appears the gas gauge is working! Not sure the temp gauge is though. I did a compression test on all the cylinders. Got 120 PSI on all of them except 2. One of those had 115PSI and...

I dont have a leakdown tester, but I do have a compression tester that Ive read it may be possible to remove the schrader valve on to hook straight up to an air compressor. Not sure how that will go. Probably will do compression tests to see what numbers Im getting, and if one seems to be lower...

Checked out the antifreeze today, didnt drain it. Looks clean. Drained the oil, it was BLACK, and very thin? Almost like water. Literally was splashing into the oil pan instead of pouring out. There was a bit of sludge that started to come out as well.. just nasty gunk. Motor is crazy dirty...

Choke is wide open! It is for sure not sticking. lol I have a fuel pressure regulator, maybe I should turn it down. Its set to 5.5PSI right now.. may turn it down to 4.5 and see if it does anything. Carb is stock.. carter AFB. I wouldnt say the smoke smells sweet

I will drain it soon and let you know. Would it look milky if there was water in it? Im not sure if the oil smells like gas but Ill check it out when I drain it. Fuel pump I believe was a airtex from autozone. Carb has gotten to be a huge PITA. The float needle/seats/floats are brand new, why...
