KRAM Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Well being that it's old and a Ford, I would have to guess you need to fix all the rust holes in the body to keep the outside air from coming into the cabin instead of messing with the carb. Link to post Share on other sites
gordesky1 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 well the truck is in good shape its been redone no holes or rust:) here a pic http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/7261/imag0028hc9.jpg its the one on the left end yellow and black. my mom and dad allways have to open the doors so the smell comes in that way. and mosty everything on the truck is new even the engine is rebuilded. the carb is new to but it needs ajusted badly.

Lou Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I assume its a two barrel carb so it should have two mixture screws. Crank it up and screw them in one at a time when engine starts to miss back the screw out 1/2 turn go to next screw repeat process. Personally I would do whole process twice. Might check also that the butterfly valve at the top of the carburetor is opening up properly after the engine warms up the will cause a gas flooding smell also. If you still have the problem after this and mileage is worse than usual, you may have a problem with the float. Link to post Share on other sites
