CARB FIXED - First start of Allis C

The battery cables are a no. 2 wire.
Ground I know is good sanded all well for good conntact
The cables are not std. 12 volt cables. I noticed gasket is wet at carb. So assume too much fuel. Will try again tomorrow.. thanks

Good new Sort of:

I will try to load the video of it running and son pointing to carb leak.

Looks good. I'm glad someone else is asking all of these questions. I'm getting real close to firing mine up and after reading these post its gonna help me to make sure everything is like it's supposed to be.   Thanks

I don't know where the C's FACTORY ground-connection point was originally, but I'd connect it to the point closest to the starter... if there was a connection tab on the STARTER, I'd put it there, and now that I'm thinking of it, I'll probably weld a grounding tab to Schwartz's starter, and then take a second ground wire to the block for ignition...

There's another possible source of carbeurator issue- if there was water in the carbeurator passages at some point in time, and it happened to freeze, it COULD have cracked the casting internally somewhere, and not be easily seen. Gasoline will seep through a crack that water's surface tension may not.

Another possibility, is that if the carb inlet is restricted (say by an air cleaner that was being restrictive) it will draw substantially more fuel, even with the choke open. May or may not be the case for you, but just for future reference, if moisture displaces the oil in the oil bath air cleaner, then freezes... it makes for a very frustrating start-up experience (don't ask how I learned this! )

Two things to do to that Carburetor. First, buy yourself a bore brush that you can install in the end of your hand drill and run in and out of the inlet port. The inlet ports on these Carburetors get so full of rust and debris from the threads to the back of the bore inlet hole it isn't funny. If there is a lot of debris in there, its just gonna keep sticking to the Viton needle causing a flooding issue. Second, make sure the needle valve is running smooth up n' down in the seat's bore and not hanging up. Take the needle out, and with some super fine steel wool burnish the needle to remove any rough edges on the needle that could hang the needle up. I do these two things on every rebuild I do for our customer's. I tank, soap wash, and then glassbead our customer's Carburetor's, and still after all of that, run the bore brush in and out of that inlet cavity and still the rust and debris comes outta' there! Its a trap for dirt, rust and debris in there...HTH

First you have to quit trying to blame the float.  Listen to Steve and make yourself understand how the  needle valve must seat without fine particals of rust can hold it open enough to leak by the seat. 

Dick Steve and CT are all correct, it's hard to believe how much gas will pass thru the needle/seat with just a tiny piece of dirt on the needle seat.

So this guy feels like an Idiot.. I have had carb apart many times its clean as a whistle, adjusted the floats about 9 times.
Keep going back in my head about someone talking about a vent.
I looked at what I thought was the vent and seemed to have a plug in it.

Well not so - after thinking about air flow and all the gas that is pouring out - maybe it should be open, so thru a magnifier (cause I am older and cant see) it had hardened crud in it. Cleand it out all the way open now.

Starts right up- RUNS GREAT, No gas pouring out anywhere, just blows me away how many time I looked at that vent hole.

I will attached a picture for others to see the vent that was plugged.

Now going to work on 6 Volt system and get it up to par.

I want to Thank ALL OF YOU for the kind words and help on this.

Thanks Again...
Chris

Damn bugs!!! Glad to hear you found your problem!

I was just thinking the same thing Steve...where is the vent?

sorry picture so big, not the greatest with these computers.

A little smaller......
