Re: Help! Truck won't stay running

Carb is flooding on you. Remove all plugs and see if they are wet. If wet crank engine over to clean out cylinders of raw gas. Install new plugs. Disconnect fuel line on tank side of pump. If it starts let it run until it uses all gas in carb. Reconnect fuel line. If there was a piece of dirt under one of your float needles the on rushing gas should wash it out (if you are lucky). If not luckly remove top of carb and clean needle seats.
(above advice carries no written warrenty)
