Carter 2BBL carb- I am stuck

Am I the but one? Heh-Heh........
Probly not so here goes;

I assume that you have proved that the bowl is dry in the morning, and are not just guessing. If you are guessing, then I'll be guessing;
Your carb is junk. It has a hole in the bottom, and its not easily repairable.When you take it apart look for the hole.Do not put it back together and hope for the best. Look in the lowest part of the bowl, under the mainjets.
If the engine runs the same,no matter where the mixture screw are set, then the engine is getting its idle fuel supply from somewhere else; perhaps that little hole I spoke of. And/or the low-speed circuit is plugged.
But if you're guessing, I'm a gonna reach through the screen and smack you!


And just why do you want to fix it, if you're just gonna put a 4bbl on it? You lost me.,

No, I am not guessing. I have taken the top off the carb in the morning and it is bone dry. I have a switch I throw that turns on the fuel pump to refill it before I try to start it. Takes about 2 minutes before it starts. It starts on the first half crank. very fast.

As I put a oil pressure safety switch on the electric fuel pump. So it must develop oil pressure to supply power to the fuel pump. But when it is dry, it won't start and no oil pressure. So I put in a switch so I can prime the carb to start it

I want to know for sure so I know it is not my ego that wants the new carb, the car needs a new carb
