I seem to be running very rich lately. You can smell gas when my truck is running & my gas mileage has gone to crap. It seems to bog down when you get to about 40 to 45. And its flooded itself out twice in the past week.

I just did a tune-up (oil, plugs/ wires, antifreeze) & now its running like crap. Think maybe my choke is f-in up? It runs better when its warmer outside. Its an 87 B2000 BTW. And help would be appreciated. What is the gap supposed to be on the plugs anyway. The parts person told me .32. Thanks guys.

i think that is right on the plug gap, but that shouldn't have anything to do with the carb flooding out. you might need the carb rebuilt, or adjust the floats, this might help. that is the prob. with our fact. carbs, ther is so much going to them, if one thing goes out, it is hard to know what to fix w/o doing all of it.
