Nice day for a drive yesterday.... Drove some, filled up with gas and drove a bit more.
Woke up this morning to smell gas in the garage and noticed a pool of fuel on the floor. I removed the air filter and see a drip in one barrel. 1 barrel is very wet and even has a pool sitting on one side of the plate. The others are wet, so they could be dripping, but less frequent. You know gas, it will evaporate pretty quick. looks to be coming from the center of #14, Aux Venturi. I removed the Main Jet on that barrel (47 - 50), hoping to get it to stop dripping. I think it stopped. What is causing this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I should add that Dual Carbs are new, set up at AC.net... now out of business. Last summer I fully adjusted, and sync'd them. Had been running really well, parked for about a month. Total of about 800 miles on the whole rebuild. |

Just sitting all week at the last regulator setting.... no other changes
I started it up last nite and the gauge hit the advertised PSI for the pump... 3.0+. Driver side carb was popping. I hope from too much FP. I gave the regulator screw 2 full turns. Will re-start and see where the gauge goes. UPDATE: Tinkered here and there with this regulator screw. It finally got to a point where I could see the needle move as I turned the screw. So at about the 1/2 way point on the screw is where the action starts. I was able to set the PSI at about 2.5. Started nicely, ran very smoothly, saw no leaks during the Engine OFF tinkering. I think I got it. Never ends tho. |
