I had the same problem with my q-jet that my neighbor rebuilt for me. what happen was the float assembly came with two springs and one of them had fallen down between the needle and seat so the gas just kept coming in and flooding it. check for a little piece of dirt or something in there. DONT GIVE UP! I know what you mean about getting so pissed off you just want to call a scrap yard to come get the truck. I had to change out the crank and oil pump with the engine still in the truck and by my self. (That was not fun!) good luck
