I have a '49 M (50983DB carb)that runs perfectly but floods easily - don't they all ? - and something causes gas to literally pour from the carb when you choke it more than the slightest amount. Showing my ignorance here... is there some obvious reason why closing the choke would drown the carb like that? I was thinking it's a float related problem, but wouldn't that cause running issues as well as starting issues? I haven't pulled the carb apart and reluctant to do a full rebuild unless that's my only option... because it otherwise runs so well. If any of the guru's here have suggestions, I'll sure appreciate them. Many thanks,
Hank
