Replaced rings and rod bearings in 574. Also rebuilt carberator. Unable to start, seems to be getting too much gas (plugs are black after running maybe 5 minutes, exhaust is thick). Did not mess with cam shaft, distributor or alter timing. Switching spark plug wires around on distributor does not affect how it runs (tried switching wires 180 degrees). Does not accelerate when throttle is opened up. Any suggestions?

I'd double check that float heighth, and make sure that the plug wires are on correctly. I think the firing order should be 1-3-4-2. To find #1 on the distributer take out #1 plug, put you finger in the hole, and slowly turn engine till you feel compression. Bring it to TDC and where the rotor points is #1. crank the engine and watch the rotor, the direction it turns is the direction you put the wires on in order 1-3-4-2. HTH

Thank you. We tried taking out #1 plug and felt for compression, but we did not return to TDC. We were just past the numbers. Should we take numbers all the way around again by hand or back it up a bit to reach TDC? In regards to the float height we had just reassembler the carberator. I don't remember there being an adjustment for float height. This problem existed before we worked on the carb. We thought that may be the problem. $81.00 later we realized we were wrong.

The float is adjusted by moving the tang (little metal piece between floats up or down.2C
