[AMC-List] carb rebuidl help

[Ken Siroonian <KSiroonian@xxxxxxx>]

wondering if anyone has a tip on rebuidling a 1 BBL YF CARB FOR A 76
PACER. I rebuilt it about 6 months ago due to engine flooding,
overloading with fuel, black soot out of the exhaust, engine oil was
getting black fast and oil level higher due to the fuel. I rebuilt it
with a new float the black fiber float- just in case. the old one I
tested was fine anyway. now it is doing the same thing, albeit it has
not been driven more than a few hundred miles in all that time. she
uses it rarely, and the choke is coming off ok, but it just won't run
right with all that fuel and the belches of black soot/smoke. any ideas 
what I may or may not be doing right. are the adjustments that
critical, I am following the amc spec book as well as the carb rebuild
sheet, and the float level does not seem high or out of whack. I have
not pulled the carb off the car yet, just the top. is there an
adjustment I can make on the car and try again before i rebuild it. the 
needle and seat looked ok, though I have only done these a few times. i 
adjusted the idle screw ok as well. does that affect more than just the 
park idle. any ideas will be apreciated. regards.
