Hey guys,
Just found this forum today. Super excited to find a good group of Ford lovers to share info

. I have a 56 Country Sedan wagon with the 292 topped with the 4000 series teapot which I recently rebuilt. It was my first time rebuilding a carb so I watched tons of youtube videos and got advice and tips from experienced friends and took my time. It went well. Got it back on and fired her up made some idle and choke adjustments. She Starts good when cold but after driving a while if I shut her down and try to re-start in a short while it seems to crank for a long time before it fires. It will always fire just seems to take longer when warmed up. I also put an electric choke on and it has a Pertronics ignition in the dist. and new coil without resistor. Thinking I might need to adjust the float but not sure the best way to adjust. any advice would be appreciated.
