Re: Engine flooding with gas - thoughts?

I just wanted to followup this post and close it out. It looked like the Power Valve gasket was bad, and it might have had a small tear it in causing it to not seal well. Also the power valve didn't feel 'springy' when i pressed on it compared to a new one i had. I went a head and put a kit on it, replaced every gasket, as well as the power valve. I cleaned everything as best I could. Once I put it all back together, it fired right up. Lesson learned. When they say to put a kit on it, just do it and don't waste more time trying to replace individual parts. Thanks for all the help everyone!
