67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
I got some free time to go ahead and start the rebuild on the carb. Since it wasnt used much on the polara or the GTS it was fairly clean. I was able to figure out why I was having fuel spit out of the fuel vent!!
There must of been a pin hole in there somewhere because you could hear fuel sloshing around once the float was removed from the container. I did notice that the jets were 61's... where as the book says the jets should be 64's(?). So I think my dad was fighting a running rich situation due to the float be faulty and tried to lean it out by installing small jets. I am going to have to find the original jets or end up getting new ones.
But I used my ultrasonic cleaner with Simple green degreaser. it works great!! I am going to try and use the purple simple green next since I was informed that does not discolor brass and aluminum.
