well i tried to start her up yesterday... she is definitely flooded. almost got her to turn over but then it stopped cranking. i think i fried the starter. lol i'll try to replace the starter and go from there. frack! i guess half the fun is diagnosing the problems. wish me luck!

It only flooded after being on while warming up. It would seem like you have some sort of tuning issue. You need to fix that as well before you drive it anymore, unless you want to risk flooding the car again away from home.

you are absolutely correct about the tuning... the carb is a new addition and this is the first time i flooded it with the carb on. i think i will rebuild the carb before i take it out again. thanks for the tip.
