What's normal, fuel coming from venturies at idle

[mrk5]

I've been trying to figure out a problem with a rough idle. It typically develops as the truck runs at idle to low speeds on the trail. The truck starts the day running great and as the day goes it begins running worse and worse.

This last time I pulled the lid off the air cleaner and observed what to me seemed like too much fuel entering the primaries. From the area indicated below.

I would call it a dribble. It was more that just dripping.

Does it sound like too much fuel?
If so what could be the cause?

yes too much, if is doing that with throttle not being depressed

something is wrong

sunken or stuck float, dirt under needle seat, something


also make sure air horn assembly screws are all tight- that its not sucking fuel from bowl area past the gasket

but if its definitely coming from the jets you are pointing at and no where else then its an internal problem


good luck

Okay thanks. Funny as it sounds, that's good news. I been having this problem for a while and haven't been able to pin it down. Thanks to a suggestion from dyeager535 I found this problem. Now maybe I'll get the truck running correctly.

What is your fuel presure?
All of the above items are correct but I will add maybe your fuel presure is hgh and pusing fuel past the needle and seat?

I don't know what else besides what has been mentioned it could be.

I've thought of fuel pressure, too but haven't actually installed a guage yet.

If I stick with the carb, I'll have that potential problem taken care of. I have plans to install a pressure regulator so I can dial it down to 1 or 2 pounds for the trail. So, if the pressure is too high I'll have that problem licked.
