Hello I bought a truck with some issues. Long story short it caught on fire when I was trying to start it in my driveway. So i ended up replacing the carb all of the fuel lines/fuel filter and spark plug's/wire's/distributor cap. The truck will start right up with out giving it any gas. However it is acting like the gas is floored and I have to turn the key off after a second or I am afraid it will blow the engine. I made sure there is nothing sticking with the gas lever, it goes all the way back and stays there. Any sugestions would help. Thank you very much for looking!
