82 CHEVY PICKUP...TOO MUCH GAS

Guest 14 March 2005 19:29:40
 IM NEW AT THIS SO BARE WITH ME....I HAVE AN 1982 CHEVY PICKUP THAT WAS
RUNNING GREAT AND THEN JUST STOPPED RUNNING. THE CARBURETOR IS DUMPING
TOO MUCH GAS AND FLOODING THE ENGINE AS SOON AS YOU TRY TO START IT.
COULD SOMETHING BE STUCK IN THE CARBURETOR? IF SO, HOW DO I FIX IT?
ANY OTHER OPINIONS ABOUT WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THIS?

Typing in ALL CAPS is considered shouting. Chill, Dude! :)­
Looks like your float is sunk and its time for a rebuilt carburetor.

Just my 2000 millicents.

 Some of those Chevy carburetorsm (and I don't remember which years) used
foam carburetor floats, that could saturate with gasoline and lose their
buoyancy.

Even if they were brass, they can leak and cause this type of problem.

There can be a sticking valve, a damaged or decomposed seat, etc.

This should be pretty easy to find.

 Try a few light taps on the carb near the gas inlet with a hammer to free
that stuck float. If that works, others have had success by then adding carb
cleaner to the gas a few times. Else pop the top off the carb and see what's
preventing the needle valve from closing (dirt, worn float parts, ???). The
float on my 4 bbl boat ('83) sticks maybe two, three times a season as you
have described ... so far I have been able to avoid replacing parts.
