The car was running fine. Then last week, it started to pop and backfire on the freeway at 70 in 5th. It did fine in 4th at 70. Later in the day going up a grade at 70, it started to backfire real bad and lost power. I pulled over and it wouldn't idle. It was hard to start and then died. Investigation found fuel on the air cleaner cover on the passenger side carb.
Is this an indication that this float is bad? Is there a way to test the float vs. the valve? Does this look like too much fuel in the bowl? Thanks, Roger |

Make sure the idle jets are clean. This might help setting up the carbs. http://www.carburetion.com/weber/adjust.htm

Take Drifter914's advice and check the coil. Even if it checks out good statically, it may be bad when under load. Only way to be sure is to use a known good or new coil in its place. I just went through a similar nightmare and it turned out to be the coil. Since they hardly ever fail, it was the last thing I tried after wasting a lot of time and money.
