Re: Fuel problem on my '40
Tub…..Super and Rock…….I’m hoping the new carb does do the trick. I’ve only driven the car one week since last early October ! Geez
I have a Carter electric pump and it seems to go off when I turn off the switch. Is it possible that it still pumps a bit after turn off ? I also have a Holley fuel reg set at 2.5 psi. No regular fuel pump. I have that blocked off. Never a run down battery. Always a strong start and runs great upon initial start up. After sitting is when the problem occurs. When it runs it runs really great and smooth. I have another new Airtex electric and will install that if the new carb doesn’t show results.
When I can get it started it’s like the choke is closed and exhaust pipe smokes like hell of gassy fumes and I shut it off right away.
Rock…..never pulled any plugs right after I stop it, but have checked a plug or two when cooled down and they are pitch black !
I’ll report back after the new carb is installed tomorrow.
Thx…..Mike
