[6pack] Buddy's Spit has carb issues

[im sloane]

Hi team,

I have a buddy with a 74 Spit, OEM carb(1). Car has been off the road for most
of the last two years, but he cranks it regularly. (only body and interior
work) He's having an issue after a 20-30 minute drive. Car won't start, and he
notices oil(?) coming out of the small pin hole near the top of the carb
dashpot. I'm thinking he could have a stuck float, flooded carb, and gas is
backing up into the dashpot, which would overflow if the top was off, but is
squeezing out the little hole. He get's it home without a tow, so obviously it
will start when cooled down. I'm hoping he doesn't need to rebuild the whole
carb.



What say ye?



Sloane :)
