I am bringing back a car which has been sitting under a cover in a garage for 12 years.
Facts: *Car has not been started for 12 years. *Car started last week with gas poured down the carbs and ran for a few seconds. *Replaced today what looks like a stock FI pump with a carburetor pressure rated pump. *Car has new gas. *New fuel pump is working and carbs are getting fuel pressure. Looking down the barrels of the carbs, when the throttle is hit, there is "no" gas being shot into any of the 4 carb throats. If any of you guys are familiar with Dell's (DLRA 45's) Is there anything I can try to get the carbs to squirt some gas, outside of pulling the carbs and rebuilding them? (I know they are probably gummed up after 12 years) Can I access the floats or is there a particular area which would most likely be blocked on both carbs which would prevent fuel from flowing through the carbs? I am trying to get them sorted with whatever settings/sync they were parked with since I have no experience setting them back up and don't have any of the airflow meters yet, have blown my cash wad so far getting to where I am at on the car this far. Thanks if you have any suggestions. |

Man, it's been a circus of one.
While reassembling carb #1, I couldn't find one of the pump jet assemblies. (IMG:http://a284.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/104/l_b42612c8788d332fb54a73822b77372b.jpg) I have been freaking out for a good hour and a half... Crawling around the garage like I was on a knee busting pilgrimage to The Virgin of Guadalupe... (IMG:http://brandonshields.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/dscn06312.jpg?w=448&h=336) After plenty of cussing under my breath about how the hell could I have lost that part and did the cat sneak in the garage and eat it, I decided to unload the camera pics to verify it was there in the first place. (See hole near top of upper left carb) (IMG:http://a362.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/61/l_e551d07cfd093c164023309b09ca2b89.jpg) Holy Cr#%@$P It was missing in the first place! No wonder dad hated the carbs! So... I am in a pickle. Anyone got a junker 2bbl Dell in their carburetor museum collection who would be willing to part with just one long pump jet assembly? |
