Hey all,
My 263 Stromberg runs for 5 seconds then erupts fuel from the fuel bowl then dies. The fuel comes out the vent and goes all over outside and inside the carburetor and is flooding the heck out of my motor... This happens with the motor running or the starter turning it...I've tried two carbs and it still happens. I've had both carbs apart and they look fine. It started happening last Friday. Could the fuel pump be the culprit? Supposedly the fuel pump has a diaphram that shuts off fuel flow when the needle in the carb is shut...could this go bad? Any ideas...for once I'm totally at a loss! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
