Default Re: Flooding now?

If there was a lot of junk in the sediment bowl, there may be some also in the carburetor. Wouldn't hurt to take it apart and clean it, be sure the needle valve and seat are clear of any dirt, and check the float setting. You should be able to go down the road about full advance, but you can adjust a bit while driving to see where it seems to run most freely.

Also, when the car is warmed up, try running it with the GAV closed. I used to run my car about a quarter turn open, but have been running with it closed, and it does fine. Also better mileage I suspect.

Best regards,

Stew
