On the way home, my Series 5 stalled out. Upon opening the hood I found the front Stromberg dumping gas onto the exhaust manifold (I have an electric fuel pump). This was scarey to me. This looks like a bad design to me with the carbs right over the exhaust. Should I get rid of the electric pump? The problem was a piece of crud stuck in the fuel jet. The floats could not close the jet and the gas kept on coming. I also noticed a lot of black flakes in the carb bowl. What is that?
