The choke disc surfaces were a bit pitted. I bought a set of carbs with a cleaner choke surface, maybe I will try that next. What ...   11-18-2020 02:29 pm

That was an issue that I rectified. The carbs have been rebuilt and seem to be operating properly...new fuel pump and pressure regulator. usually if i ...   11-18-2020 12:21 pm

Back again. Still trying to understand this car. Car starts easily when cold with choke. Runs great. Very difficult to start when the ...   11-17-2020 09:12 pm

Got the fuel pump replaced and the anti siphon line set up. Have rebuilt the leaking carb. Seals looked relatively new, so on the plus ...   08-25-2020 08:46 pm

Thank you redracer, your explanation makes allot of sense. Not sure if a generic fuel line check valve will do the same thing. I will try ...   08-15-2020 04:53 pm

The little .22 bullet thing is long gone I think. Trying to figure out the proper hose routing for the tank is mind bending. The ...   08-15-2020 02:34 pm
