this carb bleeds fuel at idle down each ventura, causing a rich condition, a kit has been installed, carb cleaned, engine is a 50 v8 stock flathead, orginal fuel pump, any ideas from you guys? All Help Is App. Thanks Wayne

What was in the kit you used, USA or China made??? Also depends how good you cleaned it out. Need much more info. ken ct. Their pretty straight forward if you do a lot of them.First timers usually mess something up in there. lol ken ct.

Hello Ken, The Kit Was Purched From Mac,s, The Carb Was Soaked And Blown Out Very Clean, Yes I Agree Pretty Straight Foward, I Just Can,t Figure It Out.The Needle And Seat Are One Piece Enclosed, I Started Changing Power Valve, Needle And Seat With Other Parts That I Know Work Well In Another Carb. With No Luck And Very Little Change, Also Is There Supposed To Be A Brass Needle In The Squirt Channel ? Thank You ,Wayne

Wayne, You may have lost the ball bearing and keeper spring at the bottom of the accelerator pump shaft.

You paid $20 for mainly a gasket set.All other parts are junk. PV is not correct,Accel. pump was probebly a rubber type,and inlet needle setup is the worst in the industry.Yes theres a brass needle under the "Y" squirter [pointed end goes in first]. And ball under must not be stuck in its hole under the accel. pump. You get what you pay for i always say. ken ct.

Ken Ct... may I ask who sells a quality USA made rebuild kit for the 94 carb? I keep hearing of China junk, which I agree... who has the USA quality stuff?

Thank You Ken ct. , who Sells a Good Kit, I Kind Of Thought I Was Working With Inferior Pieces, I Was For Sure Suspect Of The Needle And Seat. I Ask About The Needle Under The Squirter Because It Was Not There, I Put One In Out Of Another Carb, Thanks For You,re Time And Expert Advice, I Want This Thing Rite. Wayne

3340,
This condition can occur when excessive clearance develops between
the brass throttle shaft and the base. To my knowledge there is no one single kit
that has all the proper parts. Probably the closest thing to a correct kit comes from
Classic Preservation Coalition....518 366 8405 or 518 374 5078....CPC is in Schenec-
tady NY. You will talk to the owner Hal Houghton. It is certainly worth a phone call.

Thank You Charlie And All Who Wrote Back, All Good Info. I App. That, I Will Be Getting A Kit From Ken Ct, But You Are Correct There Is Excessive Slop In Throttle Shaft As Well So Will Be Looking For A Repair There As Well. Thanks Again, Wayne

3340,
If you are interested I can line ream your base and fit one of my oversize
throttle shafts to it.

3340,Had leakage as you describe,turned out to be the nozzle bar was not sealing due to the gasket under squirter nozzle too thick not allowing the nozzle bar gaskets to seal,as you tighten the strap bolts keep moving the n.b.back&forth to make sure they tighten up tight.The pump nozzle should also be tight,Ihad to change the gasket under nozzle to a thinner one to get every thing good&tight something you might check,Cliff.

3340, capitalization of the first letter in every word... is that a thing you do on your own or is your computer having an epiphany?
