carb problems

[1st fws]

56 800 Ford.Carb floods immediately when i turn on the fuel.Adjusted the float several times but did not solve the problem.All comments will be appreciated.

The needle valve is probably stuck or there is a piece of crud in the seat. A little carb cleaner should do it. Good luck.

If the float is water logged or a hole in it your not going to be able to adjust it.

Im with the others. Definitely the needle valve or the float. I would recommend getting a rebuild kit for it. Some needle valves have a very tiny rubber o ring around them that will dry out and will continue to let fuel though.
