Hi there. My first time posting. I have a 61 Valiant V100 that I just bought about a month ago. I have done a lot of work on it and almost all of the work was because someone had hands on it. My current issue is the BBS Carburetor. It seemed to be flooding out after running the engine making it hard to start afterwards. I got a rebuild kit and took the carb apart. First obvious thing was the accelerator pump was missing the leather plunger from the pump. I proceeded to install the new parts, needle and seat was my main objective along with the accelerator pump. I still have gas running into my carburetor, landing on the throttle plate and running out of the throttle shaft and down the throat. (the kit did not have an instruction sheet but I was going by my factory service manual. I later pulled up the service sheet online. It states that the tab on the float has to be 90 degrees with the needle. I will be going back inside today to see if that might be my problem. All my 50 years of working on cars, and being a pretty decent carb guy, I never ran into that being an issue. Just wondering if anyone else ever run into this issue. Thanks

Carburetor operation and repair manuals and links to training movies and carb repair/modification threads are posted here for free download. You will likely need more comprehensive refurbishment on that carburetor than can be done with a parts-store-"quality" minimal gasket kit; get a full, proper kit from www.thecarburetorshop.com .
