62 oldsmobile dynamic 88 394, runs great for about 15minutes then floods out. What's the easy answer that I'm missing?

 

Probably a carb float issue. If your running an electric fuel pump maybe too much pressure.

 

Everything is stock. When I bought the car a pulled the carb apart to clean and reseal everything.

 

Check the float height.

 

What should it be?

 

I was looking the post of other similar issues. I may have a problem in the factory fuel pump. Does anyone know where to get a rebuild kit?

 

Auto parts store or possibly Fusick.com.

was it ok until you took the carb apart?

 

It's been a problem since I bought the car.

 

There are only a few credible causes of flooding:

1) Debris in the needle valve holding the valve open
2) Float level set incorrectly
3) Float leaking (if metal) or heavy from attack by alcohol in fuel (if plastic)
4) Excessive fuel pressure
5) (Least likely) Internal leakage in carb float bowl

 

May not be a flooding issue. It acts like it floods out but starts up immediately after. This only happens once up to operating temp.

 

First, it's hard to offer useful advice without reliable information. Second, if it's only happening on cold start, this is probably a choke adjustment issue. Again, is this ALL the relevant information you can provide?

 

It's not a cold start issue. The car runs great until warm. That's when the issue starts. It acts like it floods or chokes out, and dies. Starts up immediately after. But doesn't run long and won't accept any fuel. Pedal to the floor kills it. Not touching the pedal and it runs really rough for less then a minute and dies. Timing is set the best I can without the car running warm.

 

Once the engine has warmed up, is the choke butterfly fully opened?

 

Make sure the choke plate as all the way open when the engine gets warmed up. Look down inside the carb while its idling and see if there is fuel dripping or gurgling. With the engine off, operate the throttle linkage from idle stop to full throttle while looking down into the cab to see that there are 2 solid streams of fuel spraying in there.

Since most carb problems are generally ignition related, go over your tune. Pull all your plugs and make sure they are in good shape, clean, and gapped to .030. Make sure your points are in good shape and dwell is set to 30* (or a point gap of .019). Then set your timing to 5* BTDC. Set your idle speed to 550 to 600 rpm in gear.
