I have a 80 ford F 350 I haul my tractor and mower on. The truck was running real crapy. It is due for a smog check in a few months, so I decided I will take the carb to a carb shop for a good overhaul. I wanted it right.

With fuel line disconnected at carb put finger over hose outlet gas squirts good. Shoulden't the slightest amount of pressure open the float valve. Not too happy after spending 250.00 on a carb overhaul. I thought about a little air pressure to open the float valve, but if it opens will it stick closed agin, when I'm on the road. I know the guy will say buing it back in. There goes another 1/2 of my day.Stan
