Edelbrock Carb Throttle Shaft Leaking at Kimberly Clifton blog

Edelbrock Carb Throttle Shaft Leaking. A throttle shaft leak on a carb will affect certain cylinders more than others, and it will vary as the carb heats up. It could be worn enough to require bushings. Now, don’t discount the throttle shaft being bad. I have a leak on the primary throttle shaft, ideas to fix this? I need help with an older 1406. This is the accelerator pump going down to far when the throttle is pressed, causing an off idle flooding condition. I bought this used and discovered the butterfly screws were broke off and i had to drill and tap. Sure enough the rpms rose. Couldn't restart it and noticed the carb was leaking from the shafts for the throttle on both the driver and passenger sides. The bottom line is that the fuel leaking out of the throttle shaft is probably due to the carburetor flooding. Last night i was messing around and decided to check again, but this time spraying the throttle shafts. Probably around 1/32″ of free play, but more importantly what does it do when you spray. Did i forget to install some sort of seal? The solution is to get a carburetor kit and rebuild the carburetor and test the float. How loose can the throttle shaft be?
