Default Re: Fuel problem on my '40

Hope it works for you!!!! Fingers crossed!!!


Mike, just another thought....my frame of reference (so to speak) comes from our 32 and the Detroit Lubricator carb we had on it. It would perform and run the car beautifully BUT every time after and car sat for a week or three, the float was stuck and when you would go and start the car.....I would have to open the hood and stand and watch it because fuel would start pouring out of the carb. You could take a wrench or handle of a screwdriver and tap on the top of the bowl cover and that would free the float back up and everything worked as it should!!!! BUT that "stuck" float was the issue!!! OR before we would start the car we would tap the cover of the bowl to avert the above scenario.
