Hello Listers,
After getting my renewed carbs back, I put them on and hooked up all the
hoses and fuel lines. The car wouldn't start but the fuel pump worked. The
carbs weren't getting fuel. I determined that the hose leading from the bowl
vents to the canister was the problem. Unhooking it allowed the car to run
fine. Even though my car has been desmogged otherwise, I would like to have
the canister hooked up and working correctly to minimize fuel loss due to
evaporation. I opened the canister and found it full of charcoal chips, but
nothing seemed amiss. Another complication arose in that the canister outlet
leads to an electric valve of some sort, which isn't hooked to anything.
Where is it supposed to go? The car is a 1974 MGB with a 71 engine and HS4
carbs. Thanks for the help,
-William Killeffer
