Hi I own a 64 1/2 with 289/4-barrel carberator. I cleaned the carberator, so it has completely been dismounted. Thing i missed was a torsion spring originally mounted on the float shaft according to the manual. I thought that since they were not there when i took the floats off i would not miss them. One thing i have to mention is that the secondary throttle plates had been shutdown and blocked, i made them to work again. Now after (or while) starting the engine, fuel poors out of the top of the carberator vent (mainly at the secondary side). Its really a lot of fuel coming out so i have to shut down the engine before it catches fire.
Is there something i did wrong or overlooked or is it simply because these springs are missing? That would be strange because the problem was not there before.
Help is appreciated... Thnx Chris
