Thread: Rebuilt my stromberg carb, now it won't run

  1. #1

    Rebuilt my stromberg carb, now it won't run

    I rebuilt the carburetor on my 1949 Super, but now I'm not getting fuel to it I guess. It'll try to start and I would be able to get it limping along by spraying ether in the carb. I adjusted the fuel/air mixture idle screws as they should be to start, and adjusted the floats as they should be. It started fine and drove before I messed with it. If you're thinking of something stupid that there's no way I could have looked over, it's possible; I didn't even know how a carburetor worked until I tore it apart. Please help!

    Is there something I'm supposed to do that I'm not getting? Not computer savvy.

    I'm not sure what jenz38 is referring to ....


    You could make sure you are getting gas to the carb, then take it apart with a good blowup image and look at it carefully. Once you solve it, it's always something simple
