bumping this old thread, thanks for the info. Having trouble with my 383- 2bbl bbd carter... has run fine for many years, but since getting out of storage this year, have had dying at idle after warming up, then fuel leaking from somewhere out of the carb onto the intake manifold & boiling...

I have tried tightening the mounting flange nuts, hopefully that's it. Will try it again once it cools down... I wonder also if it's leaking out of the butterfly linkage rod

I have rebuilt this carb once before years ago, and like i said, ran great... but i don't remember if the rebuild will help eliminate a leak at the linkage rod?????


thanks
