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 |

Start at the beginning and doubt everything you did.
Set the valves Set the timing and dwell Set the carb linkage to match using a tuning snail to sync the carbs so all four are sucking the same amount of air and fuel. For gods sake, get a new set of plugs, and wires, and cap, and points. Change you oil, it had fuel in it now, and Chang the oil filter. Change your fuel filter Check your fuel pressure, keep it at the right setting for your carbs. Set the floats at 10mm closed, there are charts and pictures on redline webers carb site for 40mm IDF float settings. This is a basic tuneup for the car, and looking at those plugs, you have been driving it without a tune up for at least two years, maybe longer... Rich |
