I have a 2 barrel carb on my 307 and it is allowing a gas smell to fill up my garage. Will this allow smell of fuel to seep threw the throttle body?

Changing to this EFI system will remove the leaks causing the gas smell. Additionally, you will see fast starts, better throttle response, increased power, and better fuel efficiency. We have it in stock and ready to ship. Thanks!

A heavy fuel smell coming from your carburetor may indicate that you have leak somewhere in the carb body itself.

You must have a bad leak in Your fuel system. Just changing the carb to fuel injection may not fix that.

it will let you adjust the air fuel mixture .most carbs come sealed.also you can change the jets.

Yes,But save the old carb because you may have to use the choke lever off it if it doesn't match yours.

need to mix fuel stableizer in with the gas, if not the fuel gums up the carb and it wont start, i always put it in the gas when i buy it,

Not that I'm aware of Dianne try checking the holes the gas comes out of you may have some rust particles partially blocking the holes on one or both jets. I hope that helps. Good luck

I've had no problem with mine at all. This includes all points where the gas line and carburetor might leak. Certainly if you strain the gas line or damage the unit, there may be a problem. I always would suggest that the line is shut off and carburetor drained out by running to minimize any possible leaks and start up problems when the unit is put into storage. the units that were a problem were generally smaller than this one, although I still think 'operator error' may have been a significant part of the problem.

I have had the problem once or twice...Check and make sure your fuel mixture lever is fully up that is usually the culprit for me.Good Luck hope this helped you :0)

If that is a new carb then it should have a threaded hole for a fuel fitting and if it does not then you should call them back and tell them the fuel tube is missing and if that is the case then you will need to send the carb back the new carb I got has a fuel tube in it

If you have the same model machine I have, then yes this is a better carburetor. It has a metal choke shaft going through body, plus it has a throttle open position mechanism so you don't have to hold the throttle open. Squeeze the trigger after warm up and it release throttle to idle automatically. Much better than original.

I had no issue with smell, I would suggest setting outside and letting it off gas for a few days

Well, I am not optimistic, but you can try it. The gunk in your tank is only part of the problem. Your carburator may be gummed up and fuel line may be clogged. If this is a good mower, I would consider having a small engine mechanic take off your carb and tank, clean and soak, put back on, and do a tune-up. Or you could do it yourself. If you use an engine cleaner, you might buy one in a spray can with a straw so you can spray into gummed up nooks and crannies of carb or tank.

I only have smell when the tank is almost empty. If your getting smell it means its leaking gas.

If you are not getting fuel in most cases the issue is either the carberator had old fuel in it with the alcohol in it it will draw moisture and clog up the ports inside , if you have tryed another carb and it stiil wont pump fuel the issue is probably internal the crank case will need to send a pulse through the pulse line hose going to the carb to activate the diaphram inside the carb. if there is a leak on either crank seal or cly. gasket it will not create the pulse it needs to operate . pull pulse line off and crank over to see if there is any activityon pulse line of pressure test bottom end . crank seals are known to go bad on these small engines ..... Good Luck Mike

Ned,I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running. In a nutshell, I was using regular gasoline which in a few short months caused an air leak by eating into the seal on the carberator plate cover. You might want to check and see if you have any leakage on the bottom of the carb plate. I replaced the gasket and started using Alcohol free gasoline (which the literature says to use) and have had no futher problems. Starts easy, runs great, without the constant priming. BTW - I found that Dealers will not cover any gasoline areas under warranty. Ned,I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running.

Follow the instructions and it should be fine. It depends on how badly clogged your carb is.

I get a slight gas odor when it ignites each time it lights. I am hooked up to natural gas which has an abundant amount of odorant. I have a natural gas cooking stove with electronic igniters. with the delayed ignition of the burners I get the same odor. with the heater the burner is quite long compared to the small pilot. I'm guessing with the large amount of gas being pumped out it can't burn all the fumes that quickly. ask your installer and see if he has the same explanation. also as long as there is no excessive amount of carbon monoxide everything should be ok. please advise me on my comments . remember I am not an expert. so ask these questions of your installer and advise if he agrees. I have my heater in a remolded garage converted into a large bathroom, shower and laundry which in itself has a lot of odors. I will be shortly be installing a fan which will hopefully disparate most of the odors. gordy from meriden conn.

I was going to describe them both but it'd be easier if you do an image search for GM TBI. Them remove your air cleaner and see what yours looks like. The 2 injector pods on the top are dead giveaways, carbs don't have those. I believe the air horn diameter, where the air cleaner mounts, is the same for TBI, 4 barrel carbs and some 2 barrel carbs. 5 and 1/8 inches if I remember right. That cold air intake should fit either. I'm thinking of getting one for my Ranchero that has a Holley 4 barrel.
