1979 carb problem

mystery · 05-24-2014, 04:39 PM

are you able to dump fuel into the carb and have it turn over? cause it sounds as though your having the same issue i had which was at first there was crap in the gas tank and it made it to the carb which then filled up my floats which wouldn't allow fuel to pass through the passages it needed. needless to say sounds like youll either need a new one or rebuild one you have which would be cheaper. if theres fuel coming out of your primary jets youd be in good shape but theres a diaphram on the side very small one that makes it happen which could be clogged up all of which would come with the rebuild kit.
