    Is a Stromberg 4-106 the original Carb. for a '48 Commander/Land Cruiser?

    Most Sixes had Carters.

      Did you mean 6-104? A 4-106 would be a Chrysler carb.

            I'm no technician but I used to carry a big screw driver to tap the carb with the handle and loosen up the float. Try that first. Oh, and carry a fire extinguisher (no joke).

              If you remove the Fuel Inlet fitting which is also the seat for the needle, you can clean the debris from it, to allow it to shut the fuel flow off.

              The cause can be a dirty tank and or lines.

                Sounds like the correct carburetor for a '48 Commander, a Stromberg model BXOV-26. Overhaul procedures are in the shop manual.

                  Yes, either debris keeping the needle valve open, deteriorated needle valve or seat, OR your float aint floating!!! The float gets a hole in it and doesn't raise up to shut off the needle valve, and the fuel just keeps flowing in from the fuel pump. You just got this car running, right?
