Help gas is poring out.

(1/2) > >>

afmuse76:
Ok I did my rebuild last night and something is wrong. Just tuning the fuel pump on to start it and gas is poring out the vent tube on the front. I set my float to 1/4" Is my float stuck or something? it was moving freely when I reassembled it.

Shark Racer:
Did you make sure to seat the needle-seat tightly, and put the washer underneath? Also, did you remove the old washer?

afmuse76:
Needle seat was installed nice and tight along with the washer. I just double checked my old parts pile and the washer is with the old needle seat. Only thing I can think of is the float either isn't seating or is two high. I starting taking the air horn off while on the truck but it started poring down rain.

Shark Racer:
How did you hang the needle, if at all? What's your fuel pressure?

afmuse76:
I hung the needle just like this. These are the old parts. is there a better way to hang it?
