Good day everyone!
My name is Beasley, and I’m the owner of a 1950 Willys truck, and I don't know everything about it, I did not do the rebuild; I got it from a friend who did, but I am now maintaining it and loving nearly every moment of it.
So why I write today:
The carb is flooding and stalling and I dont know exactly why and im seeking some advice from this community to get her back on the road!
Symptoms:
She starts ok, idles fine, but when I go to drive her, she'll stall out within 30 seconds and when i check under the hood, fuel will be dripping out of the carb all over the head and there will be sputtering coming from inside. I’ve taken the top off the carb and verified the float is floating, and cleaned off the pin which seemed to be sticking shut (though I figure that would be an opposite problem for flooding), and after letting it sit for a while can get her to fire off again before repeating the said above.
Thank you for reading this and helping out a young farmer using his tructor for his work!
