So I got a few problems it seems with the carb, wanted to know what you guys think before I buy a new one.
So I did that right before this happened, maybe I go them stuck by hiting it??Floats are stuck open or the needles aren't sealing. Tap the carb with a screwdriver handle and see if the floats are stuck. It may just need adjusting.
Doubtful unless you hit it hard enough to bend something lol. The float levels probably need to be adjustedSo I did that right before this happened, maybe I go them stuck by hiting it??
Is the carb under warrente or new enough to return for replacement.
I would say either the float or needle is the issue.
Idj anything about fixing thus carb lol, I should buy a new one?
Or if your pump is supplying way too much pressure

Thats a good point about the fuel pressure I didn't think of that. What kinda of pump are you using op? Mechanical or electric? I think IIRC those carbs only require about 5-7 lbsIs the carb under warrente or new enough to return for replacement.

I have bad spelling deal w it????????
Hard to answer a question if no one can understand the reply.I have bad spelling deal w it
Ok so first off that is mb, I have mental **** that affects my perspective or so I'm told, as far as warranty..it's an Amazon carb I got for 80bucks, I don't think I could take it back, and it just now did this tdHard to answer a question if no one can understand the reply.
I asked if the carb was new or under warrantee and you answer about fixing it. And buying a new one.
Please answer the questions asked rather then being defensive.
I too, am a bad speller and I have fat fingers and spell check many times changes what I wrote.
I'd love to, it just seems really complexDo you want to try to repair the carb? Diagnosing it is not very difficult, and fixing it is fairly streight forward.
Worst case you buy a new carb.
NOT a stupid anything! We do not know if the needle is open from a blockage or not. The guy is learning, we ALL made mistakes in the past. if tape is applied correctly it will not get into the fuel line.I dont know who told you to use teflon tape on a carburetor inlet, but there’s your problem.
T-tape in the fuel inlet needle. All too common. Stupid move.

You'll have to take the carb top off.So I did that right before this happened, maybe I go them stuck by hiting it??
I also wanna do a turbo setup later...like later later, so is the efi route a good way to go I found a kit for 900bucks that has timing,fuel ratios, and tells me just general specs of the engine that would help with boost, if I saved for that would that be better than running a carb since it's simple and parts don't really wear out..like honestly good idea or not?? And I would definitely mess up my carb trying to fix it since I can only learn by experience, that means messing up and paying to fix it repeatedly. Idk just thoughts
