well me and my neibor where messing with the truck .. As soon at u turn the key on it starts just pooring the gas down the carb ... We got a carb rebuild kit and put it in there set it... every thing is right.... jake the old man i bought the truck off of changed the fuel pump Would that couse it to do that... ???? we took the old fuel pump apart got it runing now .. we might swap it back on.. and see what hapens.... ummmm .... hmmm never thought of it till now but does it take a fuel press reglater ? there is a little thing on there.. i dont know if that one or not...... i dont know we might be over looking some things.... jake is 79 and he has not fooled with it for 15 years or better... lol i dont know.. may carbs jacked.. or fuel pump is to big.. or something little where looking over .... Tell me what you think lol..

if the fuel return line is hooked up then there shouldn't be a problem with too much pressure, but if its not hooked up there could be too much pressure. sounds like a messed up neatle or seat or a float with a hole in it. if your fuel return line is not hooked up, then you could put the old pump on, and see if it fixes it.

hmmmm.. ill try that tomarrow... its all buging me to death lol we unplug the fuel pump it runs great for like 30sec-minute.. purrs like a kitten

My carb does the same thing. I think they are supposed to do that to an extent. Not pouring, but just trickling into the carb. Did you use the same size fuel pump? If you had it running on the old fuel pump I'd swap the old one back in. If you leave the fuel pump to run without starting the truck, does any fuel come out from around the carb?

might sound stupid but i had the same problem 2 days ago...rebuilt the carb put it back on and it dumped fuel straight out the bottom of the venturi like crazy...took it off and found out some screws were a bit loose...tighteded them up and put it back on and adjusted linkage correctly and it quit...just a thot...

I had the same problem a few months ago and even went so far as putting Permatex on both sides of the gaskets when I rebuilt the carb. Still dumped raw fuel into the intake manifold. After the third Hitachi, I went for a Weber and ended the frustration.

well i didnot get a chance to scew with it today.. i probly wont till tuesday..My grams b/f died yesterday,and all my famly is all in.... soo im going to be tied up .. owell anyways .. i was thinking maybe the the return line is pluged up.. lol .. lol i gota boy with civic wanting to race me when i put that 350 in it .. lol going to be a funy lol... people dont know what horsepower is lol.. they think thos cars are fast lol shit they never seen fast lol...

I adjusted my float and mine quit pouring gas down the carb, though I still hate the hitachi. Even the hitachi distributor is going to get replaced with the Unilite, thanks to everyone who showed me where to get one. Much appreciated.

That needle and seat could be stuck open causing the fuel not to go to the return line. It's simple to pull off and blow in and get the trash out.

Well no luck with the carb to day.. I thought maybe the return line was pluged up ... I took the return line off the carb and ran it straight into a can... Still poured out the jet thingys on top off the carb... I think my next move is going to be to take it off take it all apart AGIN.. and find someone that is good with carbs to fix it.. BECOUSE IM STUPID ! .. well i take that back.. ill never learn how to fix a carb if i dont try .

My uncle ray said something about the jets being bad.. i dont think that it

If it is pouring out of the overflow pipes right at the top of the carb (see this post for a pic of what I'm talking about: http://forums.luvtruck.com/viewtopic.php?t=3627 ) the problem is either the float or the needle valve and seat. The float could just have a hole in it or it could be just adjusted really wrong. The needle valve might be really worn or could have some crud stuck in it keeping it from closing. Do you actually get fuel out of the return line if you run it from the carb to just a can standing by? If nothing comes out the return on the carb, the needle valve is most definitely not closing either from float or a problem in the valve. (Assuming gas is coming out the overflow pipes, not somewhere else.)

i think it is just the fuel plump is puting to much pressure on it .. i going to jack with the stock fuel pump and see if she makes a differance... man.. this sucks.. im dieing to take it for a drive around the block lol .. Well im off to bed it 1 am lol gotta get up at 5:45 for school * tear*

Some one should give me a Carb that and a tonneas cover for the bed so i can hide some of the rust OOOO I Omost forgot... WILL a like 80's S 10 short beds bed liner fit in a 78 short bed luv . or would i have to do alittle AFRICAN AMERICAN INGUNITY ? lol once agin im off to bed
