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? |

Put it all back together and try running the car up and down the street and see how it runs. Then shut it off for 10 minutes and try to start it. If it is hard to start and blows black smoke out the tailpipe something is wrong. Maybe what you are seeing is normal???? My other guess is too much fuel pressure???? Are you installing this set of carbs to replace another set or switching over from fuel infection???
