Recnently i asked the group about the float bowl vent on the carb. Learned that i had plugged the vent, the hole directly under the bowl, and shouldnt have. I unplugged the hole, and now fuel squirts out of it everytime i pump the bulb. This is not right is it?
Furthermore, everything i read says to set the needle to 1.5 turns and adjust in to find the sweet spot. The motor will not run at all at this setting. It may run for a second or two then die. The motor requires a setting of about 5 to 6 turns, then it will idle and accelerate well in the tank.
Any ideas? New points , condensers, all gaskets, fuel connections, plugs, wires, you name it.
And a carb kit, or two.
Thanks in advance
