Today I rebuilt the factory 2 barrel carburetor on my truck. I had the correct kit for the carburetor and i begum...
When I first opened the carb up to acess the damage I pulled out a good 30 and someodd years of build up and dirt.
I did everything I was supposed to do and then i went to install it on my truck... everything was going good till i turned the key. My truck sat there spinning the motor and not firing over. I got out and checked all of the lines, they were all connected so I went back inside to make sure i didn't miss any parts. Everything is where it is supposed to be. I cleaned every passage and part to that carburetor with aproximatly 24 cans of carb cleaner.
Everything looks nice but i tried again and its still not firing over, it isn't getting gas to the jets in it. I concluded that so i tried the gas down the carb trick but nope this didn't help any so i pulled a spark plug off- lots of spark (nocked me down- ouch this one hurt).
I took the carb back inside and tore it down again and put it back together one more time went back outside and it is happening again... What could the problem be, if you have any sugestions I will go outside and try them..
Thanks
