84 ford f150 carb problems

Sep 21, 2005 3 Replies

The issue is my truck always sounds like is flooded when i start it especialy when its wet outside the engine chuggs . I rev the engine black smoke comes out the tailpipe and it clears up after running for a while it runs fine highway driving theres lost of power. any suggestions?


It's running rich ... perhaps it has a blown power valve (if it has one) or perhaps the choke is stuck?

Rebuilt carbs have to be set up too. Before throwing $$ at a rebuilt carb the OP should have his vehicle properly analyzed. He does not say when the "troubled" carb was serviced - nor by whom....
