Re: 1954 Majestic – back to work on it.

I’d take the carb apart and look carefully for any way gas can bypass the high speed needle and get up the venturi. I’m thinking of the donut washer that mates with the center of the bowl at the bottom on OMC carbs that causes flooding – I haven’t had a Champion/Majestic carb (Tillotson if I remember right) apart for a long time and don’t remember if they have a similar gasket. Also be sure the spring-loaded choke is assembled correct and the spring holds it open instead of shut. Check float level also. There should be an easy fix to your problem.
