How do you judge when it's time for a carb rebuild? Got the car out of winter storage last week, hard to start, but it fired with start gas and ran well. Had Stabil in it. Took it for an hour drive, stopped to admire the view.. Got back to the car 30 minutes later.. it didn't sink in that I was smelling a strong gas odor.. I cranked it over, didn't fire up, until the battery went dead. Had to get a jump to start, but it did fire in about 10 seconds. Drove it back to storage. I'll have a closer look at it tomorrow, but I wonder if some of the jets, the tip of the float meter, accelerator pump seals, etc are just old and flowing way more fuel than it should... flooding the engine?
