Well I got my weber carb on the truck but it doesnt want to run, it sounds like its flooding and then it dies. Does anybody know how to adjust the float on those webers, or should I just call redline weber. Thanks

I printed the weber carb setup info from the website at redline weber. I would try that, then talk to the guys there. I talked to one guy a long time ago who was a dick, but then talked to another guy who was cool as hell.

The only thing mentioning float settings I've found is at: http://www.redlineweber.com/html/Tech/3 ... akdown.htm

Look in the middle bottom of the page. They mention "fuel pressure is critical to float spillage" so if you have not hooked in the fuel return line that could be it. It may be overpowering the needle valve and blasting fuel right by it, overflowing the bowl. The needle valve could also have some grunge in it, dirt or old gas gunk, holding it open. Any way you look at it, a full rebuild kit for the carb might not be a bad idea.

Yeah I keep forgetting that you bought the carb used off of ebay. I would just go full rebuild on it so you can see first hand how it works on the inside. That always helps me make it work on the outside.
