Constantly Flooded? Please Help! (kinda long)
Constantly Flooded? Please Help! (kinda long)
Alright, I was minding my own business at a traffic light and the RPM's started to drop, when I pushed on the gas slightly, they dropped even lower and the car died. In trying o start it again, I found that the only way to do so was to put my foot all the way to the floor and crank it for a while. This is ususlly how you have to start a car when it is flooded, hmmmm. Well, I finally got it started and drove for awhile and it did the exactsame thing. I thought that I might have been out of gas (even though the gauge read 1/4 tank), so I stopped and filled up. This did not fix the problem. When I got home I took off the air cleaner to check things out and when I disconnected the vacuum line to the front of the carb, the RPMs jumped up and it seemed to be running fine. If I plugged the whole with my finger, they dropped back down to where they were when it was ready to dieand when I pulled on the throttle to pick it back up, it bogged and then came up, just like it did at the stop light. So, I gave up to come in side and ask for some help, when I shut off the car, gasoline started spilling out of the passanger side of the carb onto the itake under the choke. Sorry this was so long, but please help, any response is appreciated.
