Post FY Carter Rebuild Question ... 1962 Wagon 226
Just rebuilt myCarter YF with Kaiser Kit + got everything new from the filter back to the tank ... NOTE: We adjusted the float, per my manual at least 3/16" down, so it's in spec ... but something is wrong ...
Cranked right up, but won't run unless the choke is pulled out at least 3/4 ... Adjusted the the air/fuel mixture multiple locations, but did not help ... nor the idle screw ... we also noticed no vacuum going to the wipers ...
After repeated cranks and tinkering, we started getting gas seepage coming out of the bottom section - but not initially ... And it still won't run without the choke being 3/4 open ...
NOTE: It was running before we rebuilt the carb, so we have to assume the other factors are still operational ... points, plugs, wires, timing, etc ... + all new from filter back ...
Suggestions? Float?; Worn out base? (base looks replaced ie a different metal color);
Thanks for your help ...
Optimistically,
Will(ys) Springer
