What would be wrong if my car starts by dumping fuel thru the jets and its getting fuel to the carb body but not too the jets?
Thanks

depends, are you SURE you get fuel to the carb?I had a similar problem thinking I was getting fuel them just found out it was a pump fuse. just take off your incoming fuel line to make sure. but if it is the carb could be a # of things, like clogged jets, bad floats, mixture/idle screw incorrectly tuned.........so I guess if you are getting fuel soak it with some carb cleaner and start from there, sorry its not much help but hoefully it gets you in the ballpark

K, my question is, how long has the carb sat? if its been more than oh say 2 weeks there is a good chance gas could have varnished in the jets, clogging them, I'd say give it a good cleaning. also check your carb sight glass to check that its at the proper level
BTW- do you mean the JETS or BARRELS? if your getting fuel threw the jets then everythign is OK. Jets are the little tubes inside of the barrels that go through the ventturies that squrit the fuel
EDIT: I know this is nothing like the carb you have, but you get the idea LOL
