YAY...We got the motor fully running today. Cept theres a problem with the carb...The gas is just pouring into it like theres no restriction at all. Just overflows. So we have to figure this carb out. BUt the good news is that we got it started and have changed the oil twice as of right now.. gonna have to get more oil and oil filters tomorrow as wel as a new fuel filter. Im sure my brother will be on later to explain more.

if its a holley, take the side's off and check the floats and needles and seats. There may be some dirt or other crap in the needle and seat or the floats could be filled with water. My carb was just pissing fuel down the barrels and i got a 30 dollar rebuild kit and all i used from the kit was the needle and seats, and some basic gaskets. Its pretty easy, takes like 20 mins and can save you from having to rebuild the carb.

Either that(needle and seat) or you floats ain't floatin no more. Or possibly a fuel pressure issue.

« **Reply #105 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:43:31 PM »

No its a edolbrok.....and the fuel pressure is the same as it was before it went down.

Nope Follow Andy's advice. I can guarantee it's a dirt issue in the carb.

When you get her ready, gimme a call! A return trip to Saguaro around Labor Day sounds in order to me!!!! Don't let the lake beat you! Off That weekend too!

Any lake is fine, actually looking forward to hitting Sag again though since I haven't been back there since the burning incident! (Only because other events have dragged me to Pleasant, bartlett and Canyon lakes this summer)

Good work BTW!
