meadowbrook Posted September 29, 2016 Report Posted September 29, 2016 Hi all, thanks for all the support with my questions on the timing chain and coolant. My adding of a spacer to the carb did not correct my stalling issue during long periods of hot idling. (I am convinced it is due to flooding from percolation since when it stalls, there is still fuel in the bowl since I can see fuel being squirted when I open the throttle ) So I will look into lowering the float. I checked the distance from the plane of the carb sealing surface to the body of the float at its highest position. It was 4/32". That is lower than the spec of 5/64". So I lowered to a total of 6/32", or 3/16". Another clue to the percolation was that the carb's iron section, the throttle body, is always wet . And often it smells like gas after sitting after a hot drive. There must be a vent somewhere. Quote
