Re: [T3] Flooding carbs


Perhaps it's just my ignorance of the T-3 in general
and the 32PDSITs in particular, but isn't there a 12V
fuel cutoff jet on these carbs that's designed to stop
the engine from dieseling or 'run-on'? If the cutoff
jet on the carb in question wasn't hooked up to 12V
positive power source or if it was faulty could it be
allowing fuel to still flow into the carburetor from
residual pressure in the system created by the fuel
pump? 

How about a fuel-soaked float? If I remember right,
some are made of hollow brass and others are made out
of plastic, so if it's full of fuel, will it allow the
needle valve to fully close?
