Need help getting a Motorcraft 4300 to run.
hey guys! i have a 1973 mercury marquis 460 with a Motorcraft 4300 (d3vf-
ca). I have been tinkering with this carburetor for the past ~2 month but cant
get it to run. Everytime i try to start the car it floods itself (hitting it doesn't
help). iv put 3 carb kits in this thing and adjusted the float at least a few
dozen times. same thing for the idle mixture screws and idle speed. i had 2
mechanics come and take a look at it. first one played with the float alot but
never got it to run. second one came but wen he realised it was a ''460
carburetor'' told me he wouldn't even touch it. so do any of you guys have
experiences whit these carb and would be willing to let go of a few tips and
tricks? Also i really dont want to just put Holley on it and call it a day. this is
the original carburetor and as much as possible i want to keep it. Thank you!
