Re: Power valve failure
Having read everything here; i tend to believe that most flooding and rich mix problems is still our crap gasoline. Got a new Carpenter 94 a few years back to solve the hot engine flooding problem. Carb worked GR8 out of the box, but still flooded when sitting after a run. Bad fuel, imho.

Re: Power valve failure
Here's another thing I just noticed today:
I took my EBU carb apart to replace the power valve with a new one, which comes with a new gasket. The new power valves they sell are shaped different at the mating surface than my old ones which came from Daytona parts. And the new power valve has a much larger diameter gasket. I put the power valve and gasket in the bottom of the main body and set it upright on a tuna can, then poured a half a tuna can full of gas down into the float chamber to see if the power valve leaked. AND IT DID. I took it off again and dug an old smaller gasket out of my box of Daytona Parts gaskets and repeated the test. This time it did not leak. Good thing I checked before putting the whole carb back together and put it back on the car! |

Re: Power valve failure
CharlyNY machines those PV's that he sells. Worth it to get one from someone that actually cares if they fit/work or not. The kid working in that parts sweat shop probably doesn't even know what the part is for.
Do I go to the "cheaper" brain surgeon or find one who really cares? Chap |
