Hello,
I recently got a 1966ish International Loadstar with a 392 engine. It has a Holley 4 barrel carb like you see on race cars and Fords. It was not letting fuel into the front bowl because the float adjustment was all the way down. We pulled the carb and installed a rebuild kit. Static set the floats and when we put it back on fuel was overflowing from both bowls into the carb throat and all over the place. I wound up adjusting the front all the way in, again.
The floats are made of some kind of pinkish foam. Is it possible they are not buoyant any more? Any experts want to take a stab at rebuilding this thing the right way?
Thanks
Birken
