Such is hot rodding!  . |
Normal engine level is appox. 4 degrees. With the same angle built into most intakes to bring the carb.to level.
With the exit point at the fuel tank so far below the entry point at the carb. it is hard to visualize any fuel flowing into the engine.
I suspect that any raw fuel in the manifold and combustion chambers is just from all the previous attempts to start.
