the carb is now flooding the plug went thru the carb cleaned and checked every thing stock getting and set to the specks
swaped a few parts out still no good . spittin a lil fuel out the carb makes me wounder . checked the timing seams to be tru
bought the wheeler with a fresh rebuild every thing seams to been rebuilt or replaced . . every thing but this carb ?

i already know im gona hear about the 400 ex swap witch is all good lookin into that and lookin at the edelbrock quick silver any body ever try one on a 350 ?

Man its just a matter of trial and error.I have two that I'm still working the kinks out on.when you clean your Carb you need to check and see if the float needle goes in and out of the seat smoothly.check the float height and make sure its right.do a compression,valve clearance check.you said you had it running so there shouldn't be a lot wrong with it.

Does it run strong through the gears?mine done practically the same thing.I could pull the Carb and there would be gas puddled up on the edge of the intake.still not 100% sure on mine yet but I did figure out mine was out of time due to cam chain slack.mine would start and idle but anything past 3/4 or a quick blip of the throttle would kill it.I tried 350 and 400 carbs with no good results still ran like crap either way.got my can chain and gaskets but haven't been real motivated to Yank it out yet.I have a 85 that has a Nos motor that I'm about done with that ill ride while I'm tearing down the other.hope yours is a easier fix.

timing seams to be corect . bench tested floats seam to work as thay should every thing looks to be in order last time i had a carb act this way was a p.o used a drill on the carb think ill get a carb kit coming tomarow and try again how do i adjust the timing ? advancement ?

[fcf35]

the manual says that timing is pre set and cannot be adjusted.im not sure if could be done with a different cam or not.if so that may be why mines not lining up with the head.imvery curious about that and hope someone will have an answer.with no gas in the carb have you tried using a shot of carb cleaner to start it?

i have with no luck and thats y i keep think its a timing thing but as the book says with the t on its mark both rockers are free and cam lobes are down
the marks on the cam sprocket are as thay should be

yeh ok this one i wished came in a milk crate . then i could c every thing thay messed up
the one thing i didnt want i got . . a bent valve . . was bent when thay put the head on . . so this is wat it is .
got the head broke down awaiting new valves . think nows a good thime to hit it with a rotery tool
