wow, you should have seen the fireworks i had today on my motor. i took the carb apart and reassembled it today. i put it on and it finally cranked after it got fuel in there. after a second or two i had about a 5 or 6 inch gas gusher coming from the vent tube.now that is some good pressure, i was frieking. i killed it asap and as soon as i did it went up in flames. no worries because i got it out within 2 minutes and it did no damage. once after the wife wrecked the 95 v6 i had backwards into a bayou, i was purging the watered down fuel out of the lines through the schrader valve while trying to crank it. well something ignited it and it burned some vacuum lines. that was a crazy day for me. i just need a new carb and i may have found one.
