Thank you very very much! I still have starting issues with my 83 Dodge Ram but now I am one step closer. I have a question about another part on this carburetor. Maybe you'd be that kind to help me out. Greetings from Germany!
@@josaljo1 I cleaned the carburetor and everything seems to work very fine. I made the adjustment at the floater. But when I try to start the engine, it seems to get to much gas and drowns. Is there a way to reduce the gasoline? Would affect any adjustment on the carburetor the engine not to start? Thanks for your help!
@@solidsneaker5509 Each carburetor may have various float adjustments try reducing or increasing that. Also, turn the air and gas screw in all the way then out 1-1/8 turn to see what happens. It is possible that the wrong parts may have been installed. You might be able to get an old carb from a junk yard to find out, or maybe use that float or needle valve from that carb. Good luck.
@@josaljo1 Thanks a lot, Josaljo. May I ask you one more question, please? Is the level of the floater responsible for how much gas is given to the engine? Isn't it just a reservoir for having enough in store?
I like the jig you made for checking the measurement......easier than the ruler method. Just a question....the measurement is taken at the CENTER of the float, correct?
You said that the two brass floats or pontoons fill up with gas and they float ???? Also sir you keep calling the needle a float. I understand the workings of a carb but it may be that some of your viewers do not. Good luck with it.

@@solidsneaker5509 Yes but it also can allow to much gas to run in because it is not closing soon enough.
My (AMC) 258 cui engine eats very much. The exhaust is black, sooty. I would like it would be economical. What possiblity to act?
Sebi Baba Sounds like to much gas. Check carburetor

Dave (personal) yes the center flat spot
My manual said at the toe of the float furthest from the baffle.

Johnny Bahama You are right i meant to say the bowl fills with fuel and raises the float level.
