Hey fellas thank you for your replies. I have no idea still why my carburetor was flooding like it did, i actually bought this carburetor as an original unit that was professionally rebuilt by a local shop near me in El Monte, CA. I did like what you said @ nsb29 and I took part the carburetor and cleaned it out really good, I let the block air out.
Still didn’t start.
So finally I checked for spark and like you guys mentioned @ sstock & @ cgrocen I checked out the cool first and I was getting no power. I guess the petronix May have fried our my old coil? I’m pretty sure it was a high amp coil too
It runs good now.
On to the next project..
