Default Re: Empty Carb Float Bowl

Welcome to the New World Order, this problem will persist forever now with the newly formulated ethanol diluted fuels. Between the air temperature and engine temperature the carb bowl storage design does not lead to evaporation protection so the new fuel just evaporates away in this type setting. The new fuels are best suited for high pressure fuel injected engines thus making your car hard to start after setting unused for 2 days or more beause the storage bowls have dried out. Some people have band aided this issue with the use of electric fuel pumps to aid the slow priming original pump or just use a couple quick blasts from a starting fluid canister to aid the engine to life after an extened rest period. You think your car starts hard now wait until you get e85 rammed down the customers gas tank.
