To add to the well stated points Kas makes, I have seen the foam in a fuel cell break down and give folks fits in trying to figure out their fuel flow problems. With contamination, the pump will stil

By the way, there are fuel pumps that fail in such a way that they no longer act as their own check valve so that flow from a pump in parallel with them will just circulate back to the intake side. I

yup, I forgot about that--someone says fuel starvation and I start thinking fuel, but if I was diagnosing the same problem on my own car the first thing I'd do is look at sparks. Coils almost always

I've been talking to some people about fuel pressure on Webers and they tell me to only worry about keeping the pressure @ 3lbs if you have a street car. The high pressure is probably not causing a f

Maybe so, but Peyote and my TR3 both ran really ratty with anything over four pounds. I dialed it back to three and everything got sweet. I think the problem could be worse in a race car vs. street.

I had exactly the same problem five years ago. You can measure the problem with an egt gauge, though, because it does indeed go to zero when the engine runs out of fuel on long straights. We chased i

Your problem is one I fought last year only to find that my mechanical timing was off by about 24 degrees. (I won't comment how I did that in the first place) Your setup is similar to my TR250 (weber

I timed the cam with a vernier gear and set the cam to the exact time the valve should be opening i.e.: I took the opening of the intake valve, 34 degrees btdc and set the cam with a lifter in place

That sounds like enough fuel to burn Atlanta again. You might double check by doing the same test with the lid of the float bowl over your test can, this will determine if the needle/seat is flowing
