    At The Point Of Ripping My Hair Out

    So Today I Was Working The Yota Did Some Linkage Work Cleaned Up Some Wiring And Installed A New Battery.............But My Truck Wont Start To Save Its Life It Will Start For Two Seconds Idle High Then Die........Then A Big Flame Comes Up From The Carb -_-...................So I Decided To Start From Stratch and To The Basics....Made Sure Everything Was Timed Right made Sure No Vacum Leaks Made Sure Everything Was Perfect And STILL NO PERFECT IDLE UGHHHHH....

    So Upon My Frustration And Two Days Of Cranking With No Success and nearly loosing and eye to a battery expolsion......My Starter Burnt Out (Great) So Rebuilt It In Less Than 20 Min Slapped It back On....HA HA My Starter Works.....

    So I Just Finally Came To Realization That Mabey My Carb Might Be The Problem....Took It Home...Took It Apart And What Do You Know NO GASKETS ON ANYTHING, NO FUEL FLOAT, JETS PUT IN WRONG PLACES, And On And On....So I Rebuilt The Weber The Right Way And Hopefully Tommrow It Will Run...............Wish Me Luck
