Just got the new dual weber kit (40 IDF) and it's all in. Presure regulator, fuel pump, it's all in (have not started it yet) but I have a problem. One of the ports is loading up with fuel. I pulled the top and the float was working (the other port was not emitting fuel after the float reached the top. Took drivers side carb off. Setup on the trunk lid with lot's of towels and turned the key on. Like I said all the other three ports stop however this one keeps dripping fuel. I am lost and not knowing exactly what these screws do (other than the idle) I really am scared to start turning them. Why would one port emmit fuel and not the other when they share the float?
Any suggestions guys? |

I'm have the same issue with mine, they drip exactly like you describe. I got mine from PMO, and they want me to deal with the guy who installed them back when I knew nothing.
'Course he's retired, and I don't know if I'd want him in my engine again anyway. The consensus around here is too much fuel is better than too little, but I think my issue played a role in the premature demise of my fresh Raby 2056, so I don't exactly know. If you are running an engine that hasn't been just rebuilt, I'd say run it and see what happens. I don't think you'll endanger the motor, you'll just have a thimble or 2 of fuel washing the cylinders when you fire it up. good luck to us, I guess... But maybe you could return the one. |
