Went out yesterday and car would almost not run. Too much fuel.
After messing last evening I found that choke was not releasing properly so front carb was always with the choke on.
Much messing this morning. Adjust this tweek that. Ordered a couple of new springs, the choke return ones from Tony. Then had an idea, made them one turn shorter. Figured they lost a bit of tension over the years. Did not fix the prob.
The fuel rod that goes up into the bottom of the carb did not return properly, Keep in mind now that I had replaced everything in the carbs when I rebuilt them.
So pulled the fuel rod out, sanded it down some with real fine sandpaper and polished it with some of that brass polish that comes in cotton balls. Really gave it a super finish.
Shoved it back up in the bottom of the carb and all is well. Smooth as silk.
Might want to check guys that the choke is really off. Bet that improves my gas mileage.
