,54 GMC hydromatic carb question
My 1954 GMC Pickup truck just recently started flooding whenever
accelerator pedal is pushed too hard. It is probably something easy I just don't know what to do to adjust carb. Help. thanks |

Help. thanks This actually sounds a little backwards. If it's stumbling when you hit the gas, more likely the accelerator pump on the carb is shot and it's getting too lean. Accelerator pumps are part of a good rebuild kit. I've not worked on Chevy's, but every carb I've seen can be tested in the following manner. With the engine off -- 1. Remove the air cleaner. 2. Shine a flashlight down the barrel of the carb. 3. Push the throttle linkage by hand as if you were accelerating. If you see a jet of raw gasoline shoot into the carb, it's ok. If not, the pump is shot. George Patterson If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have been looking for it. |
