Hey guys. I have a 77 dodge d150 with a built 400 in it. My old carb was a holly 850 double pumper and the float threads got stripped out causing it to flood if you tried to start it, so i had to replace it (yes i tried rethreading as a last hope). Brand new carb put on yesterday is a holly 650 (couldnt afford the 850 and im selling it anyways). installed everything correctly, new fuel filter too, and didnt touch the tuning screws yet. started right up and idle'd at around 900 (old carb had idle around 700) for a bit and i gave it some gas and rev'd it everything was working great, however i did not drive it, just idle'd. I knew i was going to tune it down a little bu ti need to run the store really quick. started my truck to let it warm up, idle'd fine for a bit then i threw it in gear, low rpm's instantly as if it wasnt warmed up enough (probably wasnt) so i put it in park to let it idle more. It died. tried to start it up again and nothing. Its acting like its flooded. ANY help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
