"Hey all! Here goes.... 225 v-6 Buick...Carter 1 barrel RBS...I took off the carb and cleaned the varnish out of the bowl and blew out all passages...check ball is free as well.There is no lag in the pump either (when I moved the plunger, the squirt was immediate) Idles great, runs great, BUT...I'm still getting that gas smell bad. No visible leaks anywhere on the engine. Tank is fine, Bilge ventilation is ok. The only thing I didnt do was check the float level. The smell comes at trolling speed as well as 2500 RPM range. At WOT, there is no smell, due to the wind at speed.
I'm stumped...any ideas?? Could it be overloading the bowl?
