I have a 1953 M37 that i recently acquired from a friend, it was in need a carb rebuild so i got a good rebuild kit and spent about a week cleaning and rebuilding the carb i'm farely certain everything is in it's right place, the carb is flooding the intake bad and i can't figure out why. I tested the needle and seat by blowing through it and it is seating good not letting any air in, i also put an inline pressure regulator on the fuel line after the pump and before the carb in order to make sure there wasn't too much pressure and it still floods. The carb is an ETW1, it had an E7T2 on it that ethanol gas set in for a couple of years and basically ruined it, since he had the ETW1 sitting on the shelf i took it and rebuilt it. I sprayed starter fluid down the throat and she will run off starter fluid without much of a problem, i know i will need to change the oil bc of gas, i took the PCV valve off so the gas can escape when it floods instead of pouring into the crankcase. I'm at a loss, it was running and driving great before it set up. Also could someone please look at the pics and make sure everything on the outside looks right, i wasn't a hundred percent sure on the governor connection to the body throttle linkage as i went back to the ETW1 from the E7T2. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ![](http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p127/grimlock97/1953%20Dodge%20M37%20Power%20Wagon/IMAG3951_zps55qab607.jpg)
