Gas Soaked Plugs
Gas Soaked Plugs
I was having trouble with my Holley Carb and the plugs got soaked with gas. I took them out and cleaned them best I could and put them back in and tried again and the car sounds like it wants to start but nothing. I pulled the plugs and they are soaked with gas again, making the white porc, turn grey. Would you recomend putting in new plugs before ripping apart the carb or re-doing compression tests?

The gas doesn't hurt the plugs any. You need to figure out why you are getting so much fuel and verify a good spark. New plugs will foul with gas just as easy.

could be several things, jets too big, needle valve stuck, float not adjusted correctly

I fixed the problem so it doesn't overdrop the gas (the op. lever for the accelerator pump was on too tight dropping more gas than needed), but the car still won't start. I have spark and it sounds like it wants to start, sputters but nothing...
