360 Questions.. pardon my ignorance.

Carb on the motor is junk.. peeked down the barrels and inside the intake was wet with fuel. Pulled the top off it, tweaked the float level and put it back in.. it fired up and ran for less than a minute, inside the barrels are slick with fuel and I got a big puff of smoke out of the carb when it stalled out. Thing is just dumping fuel. I tried spraying carb cleaner around it and squirting it in the front drivers-side corner caused an almost stall so there’s also apparently some kind of vacuum leak there too.

So truck will be on the backburner for a bit, I don’t have funds to be buying stuff for a project that I don’t need running immediately. I’ll plan on buying a new or verified replacement.
