Default Re: LT-1 Replacement Carb Suggestion

It won't do it if it's not completely warmed up, Eric. It has to be driven at least 5-10 miles first. When it's cold it runs great. The hotter the weather the worse it is. I took it out this morning to let a friend drive it and it ran great. It's chilly today and we didn't go far though. The only thing that seems a little odd is, in order to set the float level I have to have the needle/seat screwed down so far that the adjusting nut is barely catching the top of it. It was like that prior to the rebuild also. Are there different length needle/seats? The floats seem fine and they are not full of fuel. I'm pretty certian it's a carb issue. I'll ask around my car club and see if anyone has a carb I can borrow to see if that fixes it though. Let me know your thoughts on the needle/seat height.
