fuel in intake
I've painted/coated the exhaust and intake manifolds as well as installed a rebuilt/reman carb from a reputable supplier. Firing up the car, I realized my manifold gaskets weren't seated properly allowing for a noticeable exhaust leak. When I pulled the gaskets, I could see raw fuel puddled in the intake runners and noticed the gaskets were wet at the intake ports.
Is it expected that much fuel in the intake, or do I need to make carb adjustments? |

Re: fuel in intake
Read your spark plugs, black sooty to much fuel, white to little fuel. Over choking on start up would also wetness, I pull the choke for a couple of turns and release.

After the engine is well warmed up and has been driven for a while, drive the car into the garage or a parking spot and shut the engine down before it has a chance to idle and then read the plugs as Big Hammer suggested.
