Default Re: Fuel problem on my '40

Took out the carb and removed the power valve. It was a Holley and the rounded corner were possibly preventing a good seat. The gasket they sent me was regular gasket material and not neoprene. In fact there was 2 gaskets stuck together ! So I took the other power valve and that radius is not there so I installed that and reassembled everything. Fired right up and ran perfect for 20 minutes or so. Went into town for an hour and came back and started it up and it barely started and heavy rich fuel smell and very rough !

New carb comes today or tomorrow and we'll see what happens.

As the stomach turns......!

Thx.....Mike
