Default Re: Model A Runs rich after Carb rebuild

Any of the above comments could be your problem, possibly more than one. In my limited experience virtually everybody sets the float level too high. A 90 year old gentleman in our club ran a Model A restoration shop for over 25 years and he showed me about it. If you set the float level so that it is level when you hold the top upside down you are too rich. I have found that most people who “rebuild” a Zenith really do nothing more than clean it (and usually not well enough) I am fascinated about the ideas of the gasket being too thin. What to do about it? Is anybody aware of how thick the gasket should be? Should we use 3 new gaskets?
