Hi, carb. shooting up gas & flooding on 1989 Dodge D50 2.0L mits

Your carb is needing to be rebuilt the seals and float and valve seat may be damage. The float opens when the fuel level in the carb is low. If the valve seat is damaged or the float is not working. Gas can keep pouring into the carb resulting in extra fuel. Till the engine stops and fuel pump pressure stops pushing fuel it will keep pouring fuel and will not stop till rebuilt correcting the problems. Buy rebuild kit and rebuild it or try junkyard and replace it.

1.8 L honda 34mm keann carbs.Altitude adjusting via all vacuum lines 1984 to 87dx models they just get old and they have plastic floats 1 carb.1 float set they are a discontinued oem part they will fill up with gas and sink causing them to flood.Find some old stock float sets and carb.kit should fix right up.Maybe some one out there makes custom carb floats out of brass???That is what they need!!!!

probably the most hard question ever posted in faxya.

how to tune any carb.

google it and read for 1 full day..

endless story.

how id do it is different than you, or old school.

I have a wide band oxygen sensor i can put on any car.

and tune anything. (gas)

the jets need tuning.

here it the steps before

1: 100% clean every inch, (called "boiling out the carb") or kemdipped.

2: kitted, put in a carb kit, gaskets, and all the bits.

3: make sure choke works. turns off , on a hot engine, if not MPG WILL SUCK.

4: fuel pressure as spec. not 15psi,., better is 3.

5: float level to spec. (new carb)

6: tune it. (thats the long story.)



done many. and have cars in my barn that use carbs and motorcycles.

Possibly. Open up carb and remove float to make sure that it does float. If they get a hold in them they will fill with gas and flooding exists. Also clean out with carb cleaner paying close attention to the needle and seat valve connected to float. They too can be the cauue of a flooding condition.

have you checked the needles or floats in the carb?

THE CARBURETOR FLOAT STICKING OPEN OR FLOAT GAS SOAK CAUSING TOO MUCH GAS TO ENTER INTO THE FLOAT BOWL FLOODING OUT THE ENGINE.

Well first off what year and kind of Jag is it?That will make a difference on what might be the problem.If it is a carbureted model, it sounds like you either have a simple fuel line leak going to the carb so when your car sits fuel drips out and gives you the gas smell and then sucks air when you rev it up.If there is no line leak,sounds like your float in the carb is sticking open and simply flooding the carbs with gas,hence the smell and the bogging out at rpm.You would need a carb rebuild kit with float to fix that problem.That way you have gaskets and floats to fix your carb.

its in the float settings still and have u changed inline fuel filter

Your float level is to high when you put the kit in they give you a float adjustment gauge,you will have to pull you carb back off and reset, but before you do that what is you choke set at if it wrong it will flood too,But if it set right you can look down your carb and you see gas dripping your you float is to high

Sounds like the float has absorbed gasoline and can't ftoat anymore. This causes the fuel to not be shut off when float bowl is full causing the carb to flood. You will have to buy a carb kit and a float and rebuild the carb. Hope this helps.
