Hi everyone, Well this carb is getting the better of me so I thought i'd see what everyone here thinks i'm doing wrong.. It's a mercarb 2 barrow. It is still fowling my new plugs in this 1993 3.0LX... Put a carb kit in it, Adjusted the float level at 14mm and the drop at 27mm's...Rechecked it several times before mounting it ,but carb is still dripping fuel into intake and flooding cylinders.Not as bad as it was, but still bad enough to flood after sitting over night..Seems to be running rich also. When I tried to adjust the air mix screw, no setting I turned it to seemed to help reduce the gas fume's or help engine go from idle to half throttle with out back fireing. Checked for fire and plugs all fire when cleaned and connected to their wire's. Timming is ok as far as rotor is facing #1 wire on cap when on TDC and on compression stroke.It fires up with a bump of the switch once the cylinder's are cleared of excess fuel.Considering re-adjusting float to shut needle off sooner, and also woundered if moving the accelerator pump rod from middle hole to lower hole to maybe reduce amount of fuel coming in and see if engine takes it better. Just removed carb again and noticed that fuel would pour from venture cluster if tilted just the least bit.Any thought's on what I need to change would be appreciated...
