Title: Overflowing carb inlet... bad float/needle valve? Post by: bugnut68 on August 02, 2010, 19:34:00 pm Not really cal look, but rather a low-mileage '63 with a 40horse. Having issues with the car as it sits constantly and rarely if ever gets driven. Trying to address issues so I can get it cleaned up and sold. Turning it over, the carb is overflowing fuel out the inlet... is this a sign of a bad needle valve/float? Thinking a rebuild kit may be in order.
Previously the car would run while on the choke, but not idle off choke. No intake or vacuum leaks found to date. Title: Re: Overflowing carb inlet... bad float/needle valve?

If it works, there ya go, if not, rebuilt kit, comes with a new needle and seat. Float, dunk it in solvent, see if it bubbles, also shake it, see if it has gas in it. Have fun!
