Some of you may have read my earlier post "bunch of loosly related questions". In that post I mentioned my plan to get my coach 10miles from my home shop to my body shop to get the roof sealed and painted over Memorial Day weekend. I made it off the freeway and about 400 feet from my shop before rig pooped out and left me stranded in an intersection. After pulling the engine cover I noticed a large quantity of fuel boiling on the intake manifold and the carb appeared to have puddled fuel on top of the lower butterflies. After apening all the windows and obtaining a fire extinguisher I soaked up the fuel and cycled the key to turn on fuel pump. Fuel began seeping out the lower linkages and the top plate of the carb as well as filling the lower butter flies again. I called a few gear head buddies and they tell me that the float is stuck. I pulled the fuel filter housing to find that there is no filter in there. The carb is a quadrajet, motor is 455. I have been told by a couple of people that I should throw away the quadrajunk and get a Holly/edelbrock/etc. I was originally planning on running this carb until I could complete my research on fuel injection/intake manifold combos. It worked well when I drove it home at time of purchase. Should I throw it away or pull it and clean it? If I do get a new carb, what should I get?
Unfortunately the coach is now parked on the street in front of my shop(got a handful of people to push) rather than inside as it needs to run to get it in the building. Hoping for a quick solution even if temporary so I can limp it in the building to finish the roof.
Thanks,
