seanpt105 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 got my carb cleaned and rebuilt recently trucked fired right up after that and new plugs, idle screw was way out i turned it in until truck almost stalled then backed it out half a turn, issue im having is when hitting the throttle i get lots of smoke out the back and it seems like its running very rich old plugs were black and fouled and the fumes are enough to make your eyes water. is there another adjustment im missing? it seems like its dumping to much gas when off idle circuit.

Dozerman51 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Have you used a vacuum gauge to adjust the mixture setting? You want the highest vacuum with a steady to very very little little fluctuating needle at idle. Is the float set to the proper height?

Suggest the first thing you do is replace the vacuum line for the wipers. The engine will never run correctly with such a huge vacuum leak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
