  1. You will have to push in on the stainless ring .you will see a pin that has to be pushed out to release the handle .

    Use a finishing nail or something of similar diameter to start it out them grab it with pliers

    Its hard to believe the handle is bent  ,but you should have no trouble replacing it I have seen them for sale on line

    I hope that helps 

  2. Just an update I chickened out on doing it myself and had a mechanic rebuild it he found lots of crap in the bowl and the needle wasn't seating properly . The good news was the throttle body was good .

    Thanks once again for all your help.

  3. Thanks to everyone for your help First thing I did Sam was check that all screws were tight ,they were 

    I have ordered a new carb kit it should arrive in a week coming from one cost to near the Nations Capital 

    Yes they are expensive everything comes from the States so there is the exchange on our dollar and then duty fees

    The good thing is its made in the States.

    I will attempt to fix the problem myself it will take me out of my comfort zone but I have good advice 

    One last question when I was under the hood I pulled the throttle and gas leaked out around both sides of the throttle valve attachment on both sides( not a lot but noticeable). Is this fixable ? 

  4. I have a bit of a problem yesterday while returning home from a cruise night  i could smell gas and then the car started running rough so I pulled over shut it off pulled the hood release  and gas was dripping , more like poring down out off the carb  I tried to start it again after about ten minutes no luck . After failing to arrange for a tow about a half hr had passed I tried again and drove it home with no further issues. i had my fire extinguisher ready thankfully didn't need it .

    I am assuming it was a choke issue that flooded it but this is a problem I have to fix . No idea where to start  .Do I get a new carb. this one was rebuilt five years ago by an mechanic . my car is a 48 plodge with a stromberg carb

     

    Thank you for any ideas you may have
