Well, the Tioga failed the emissions test today because of smoke.:M The problem I have is that after I drive it around for awhile and then shut it down, the carb gets completely flooded after about 5 minutes. So when I go to the emissions place it takes them 5 or 10 minutes to hook up the equipment, and it won't start unless I hold the gas pedal to the floor while its cranking, and then it makes a huge cloud of black smoke when it starts. Does anyone know what might be causing the flooding? I replaced the original carb with a rebuilt one last year (the original had the same problem). The carb does not stay flooded after the engine is running; it only floods after I shut it down. The carb is a Holley 2210 2bbl.
