I’m curious if you used an OEM Dealer purchased carburetor kit? Did it come with a new black float? If you used a Sierra kit, they don’t come with a new float… and I have had trouble with aftermarket carb kits as Bill mentioned. The gaskets sometimes are to thick, and will cause you to chase your tail. If you buy an OEM kit, you will eliminate these problems, and you need a new float anyway. Do the same on the points, condensers and coils,
stay away from aftermarket stuff.
