F20 carburetor question

Andrew Psencik · Mar 25, 2013

I have a F20 with a carb thats giving me fits. It was plugged up and running very lean. I cleaned it out with dip and aresol cleaner. Im sure its clean. I resealed it and reinstalled it. It ran perfect for an hour or so. Now its running too rich. It smokes black and blue. It also doesnt run smoothly. It did not smoke at all before. Im thinking the float is contacting the bowl gasket and hanging up. Ive never seen a carb make an engine smoke blue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. A.P.

have you checked the float to make sure it is not heavy?... may have a hole in it and filling with gas sinse the cleaning.

Andrew, It sounds like it is plugged again. Take it apart and clean it again and check the float as rustred says. oldiron29
