1928 6 Cyl Carb Issue

Posted by Gar On 2018/12/1 19:47:34

On my new 533 I just rebuilt my Stewart Vacuum tank and cleaned out all of the openings. (Air Port was clogged and Vacuum from manifold was plugged)

Now when I start the car my float needle valve (which was missing) has gas pouring out of the top of the valve.

TWO QUESTIONS:
1- Beyond the issue of trying to find a cap for the needle valve,
any idea why gas is overflowing out of the valve? I am thinking the float is defective...

2- Any idea why the previous owner plugged the vacuum line?

Thanks
