I got my rebuild kit a few days ago and installed all the parts. I found that the kits came with the later model pump diaphram so I have to use my old pumps until I get the replacements. After about 30 minutes of tuning , the carbs seem to be working well. I still have some fine tuning. Prior to this I had a friend recheck my timing and valve adjsutmnts. All is well and compression is finally even all around about 110psi (still a little low).
So yesterday I started the car and began making some adjustments to the carbs. I turned the car aff and was checking for leaks and I heard a noise like fluid draining. I watched as gas filled each barrell. I am not sure why but after I stop the engine all the gas in the bowl leaks into the barrells (how is thisn possible??). This is happening on both carbs. Any thoughts?????? Thanks in advance. Forgot to say they are weber idf40 |

The first step to recovering (upholstery?) is admitting that you have a problem to Huston.

I think I found the problem. It appears that the pump spill screw had a rubber gasket on it. There should be no gasket on this screw. This is the screw that sits on the bottom of the bowl. It seems like it is some sort of check valve because there is a bearing of some sort in it. I had no gas left in the car and I also had no time to work on it last night.
