    Missing carberator hardwear

    I'm missing the proper washer and retainer clip on one of the carberators dampners and do not see them listed in Mosse's catalog.

     I thought I was having problems with the floats do to fuel running out the over flow tubes while tring to start it and so far I found the 4 pc  dampner assembly. 

    Should I be looking deeper?

    The missing items on the damper won't cause overflow of fuel from the float bowls (they can cause stumbling on acceleration.  If the fuel overflow happens all the time, the cause can be a sticky needle valve or a flooded float (take it out and shake it while listening  - any sloshing sound indicates a flooded float).  If the fuel overflow only occurs after the car has set long enough for the fuel to have evaporated from the float bowls, then the problem is excessive float lever drop, causing the lever to trap the needle portion of the needle valve assembly, not allowing the needle to be pushed up to close off the fuel flow.  See the article, Float Lever Drop in the other Tech Articles section of my web site at: http://homepages.donobi.net/sufuelpumps/ for instructions on how to make this adjustment.
