    no fuel in the carb bowl

    i think i am losing fuel in the carb. can you tell me how and when i might be losing fuel overnight. i think i can say that it is not boiling away due to heat. and i will assume that the power valve is good and that the fuel filter is in the correct postion. thanks

    If your carb is sitting on an alum intake without a heat spacer it's probably boiling the fuel out. That was my prob, added phenolic spacer prob stopped.

      Hey, I have too much fuel in the fuel bowl. Maybe we should get our carbs together!

        stock fuel setup with new gaskets and phenolic spacers.

        will e- maybe if we just slam our two carbs together it will fix things.

        where internally would cause the fuel to leak?
