Carburator $ Fuel PROBLEM HELP!!!!

Posted by John H New York On 2011/6/14 18:45:07

Hello

I have just rebuilt the fuel pump and had the carb rebuilt by a reputable local mechanic that has several classic cars of his own (I won't tell you though they are chevy's). The problem I am having is too much fuel is coming into the carb and leaking out all over. He said the float wasn't "Heavy" and seemed OK. The needle valve was replaced and new gaskets.

My question is could there be something wrong with my rebuild of the pump that is making it pump too much fuel and over riding the float and needle valve?

I appreciate any and all help.

Thanks,
