Hi Everybody,
Just making one last attempt at getting my carbs settled. I installed a
pressure regulator and new needle valves in the float bowls as I was getting
fuel seeping around the rear jet. I put the old jets back in to test
everything. Well after turning the fuel pump on and letting it sit for a
couple of minutes I see fuel seeping into the body of the rear carb again,
damn.
I also just found a pinhole in the lid of the rear float bowl so my question
is does the headspace of the float bowls normally run at a positive or
negative pressure. If the answer is slight negative pressure then I9m
thinking that the pin hole would increase the pressure relative to the carb
body and increase the fuel level in the jet and lead to the fuel seepage.
What do you all think?
Regardless I9ve got to fix this pinhole. Does JB Weld hold up to gasoline?
Thanks in advance,
