#ProjectSportsRoof Fuel Issue – Carb Float Adjustment

Well we’ve landed here temporarily with the vapor lock – not series of posts.   Clearly we aren’t having a vapor lock issue and had I set up a camera much earlier I would have seen the issue pretty quickly.  

With fuel spewing out of the carb, which isn’t ideal, we can narrow it down to a carb issue, not a fuel line getting to hot and not a fuel pump issue (but I’m glad I upgraded from the old one).

Here is the video of the float adjustment:

 


 

So my options at this point is to have carb rebuild or down size to 600CFM Edelbrock.

What would you do?   Drop a not and let me know.

Thanks for checking in #ProjectSportsRoof.

    Did I see fuel dripping put of the right float? If so that is a problem

    Hey, Tim. I’d downsize to the 600. The 800 is too big I think. Put the 800 on a shelf just in case or sell it to finance the 600.

      Hey Steve!! Yes…and here goes run against then normal wisdom. I think it has more power with the 800. But I won’t know for use unless I rebuild it and put it back on. Bill #ProjectBeepBeep owner, stopped by and we adjusted the new 600 and adjusted the time. There was a significant power difference….now I can say for sure, because of several other issues but we’ll see after I get the brakes squared way.
