old 7.5 Ted Williams carb help

[squirrel30668]

So I'm back again and this time I took my carberator apart and found a little rubber piece that searspartsdirect called an element. This piece on my crab was ripped on the sides. Coinsicidently my engine is flooding and running at maybe 1/4 throttle while I have it at wot. Do you think this could be my problem? I have cleaned the carb thoroughly and tree float and needle seemed fine. I was going to include a link that shows thepiece but I'm haven problems. So if you go to searspartsdirect.com and type in 217-58880 for the model number and look at the carberator and it's number 6 in the diagram

It's also called a 'duckbill', and it's the most likely cause of your problems. Do not get parts from Sears or eBay, get OEM parts from Certified Parts Corporation, call them with part numbers;

VinParts

Or from these guys;

When you install the new duckbill, be sure the ends of the slot are pointed at 8 and 2 o'clock, or it can be dammaged. (See top image inset above).
