Default Re: Fuel Disapearing

the fuel cannot be sucked out of the carb by the fuel line draining back past the fuel pump, the needle and seat is to high above the fuel to cause a siphon effect, so if not past the power valve it has to be going past the jets or is just evaporating, even if you do have a new pump my guess its got a bad check valve and letting the fuel flow back to the fuel tank and the pump looses its prime, if your not going to drive the car for a while, remove the carb, set it on your work bench , fill it full of gas and check on it often and see if you can find where the gas is going
