Michael C Wauhop Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Well I took my 55 Packard for a drive today and all of a sudden the car start running rough then backfiring and then it just plaint quit i pulled over to the side of the road and could smell gas when I popped the hood and although I dont have my spark plug removal tool with me I am sure when I pull the plugs maybe tomorrow they will be fouled. My question is have any of the members out there dealt with this shop they are in Blackwood NJ (they used to be in Collingwood NJ)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 franklin Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I just had my carb to my 31 Franklin done by phil of Custom Carbs in north Jersey. They did a great job. So I had him do another one. I have already sent about 10 people there. 732 356 4333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalowed Bill Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Before you go to far, check your needle valve seat. Sometimes a piece of dirt will get in between the needle and seat. Almost immediately the float bowl will fill up to overflowing, and flood the engine. Car will run rough and black smoke will be visible out the tailpipe. If the car was running OK prior to the incident then I doubt that you car needs a rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
