carburetor flooding

[ir3333]

started the car to back it out of the shop and it ran fine.After about a half a minute it began to miss and then stalled.I could smell gas and when i lifted the hood the carb was super flooded....lots of gas!
...what a pain,who have had this happen and what was the cause/fix..?

Take the carb apart and clean it out. Probably has some junk under a seat or something. Or could be a stuck float.

yep, time for a rebuild. A good whack with a rubber mallet may clear it up for awhile.

Oh, and I'd recommend rolling it over for 15-20 seconds with the distributor unhooked to try and clear some of the gas so you don't have any issues.

Lots of gas...think i'll change the oil too
