I have tried numerous things to get the 455 running right. My carb has been totally rebuilt and I can get proper vaccuum when idling for 15 minutes or so then it just bogs out and the vac steadily decreases. I have tried timing, idle screws, vapor cannister, etc and still can't figure out my issue. I don't believe the float is damaged or the accelator pump is damaged. I experienced this flooding before the carb was rebuilt as well. Does anyone have any ideas what could increase the fuel pressure to the carb??? What about a damaged fuel line sucking air??? Anybody have any ideas. Thanks, btw this is pushing two years of an upper half rebuild. Fun.
