Before I tear into my carb, what causes a carb to dump excess fuel?
Last week I noticed a "fuel smell" and parked the car after I made it home.
Drained a couple gallons of gas with the 5 quarts of oil.... Not happy. It was literally shooting out the valve cover! (she may be clean now, but she is also going to need some work after this).
Took the carb off and looked it over (while the crankcase was drying out), didn't notice anything hanging up. No gumming, everything seemed free/normal. Don't really know what to do.
Any thoughts???
