Eddietoronto49 Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 I honestly haven't taken the oil bath air cleaner off while running. Have looked down the barrel of the carb and it's super clean. Could be a stuck choke. Plugs are black as can be with soot on them as well, and they are only a month old. I cleaned them up but I guarantee they will be black.again very soon. I havent seen any fuel overflowing on the base but that doesnt mean it couldn't be that either could be flooding inside just enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencombs Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Black smoke and sooty plugs definitely point to too much fuel. My first look would be at float level and/or dirty or defective needle valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddietoronto49 Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Guess it's time to tear the carb off and start going through it. I've seen a rebuild kit on oldmopar.com would the be sufficient for a tear down or is that just mainly gaskets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 couple of truly important parts in the rebuild kit includes a new accelerator pump plunger and cup and the needle and seat assembly...rest is basic gaskets, a clip or two and of course often new check balls for the pump assy. to be effective...wonder how many here seat these balls first before rebuild? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddietoronto49 Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Well I can say I've never rebuilt this style of carb, only one I ever have was a quadrajet on a chevy c10. What do you mean by seat the balls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 thus my comment......why not critical for the most part and often not ever a problem, it is just a step I take to ensure no problem..good through cleaning and inspection is warranted as small particles will imbed here also...after all, it is about the lowest spot of the carb that is a sealing surface... http://www.carburetor-blog.com/the-bb-or-ball-ball-accelerator-circuit-gone-bad/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
