Re: Tillotson Carb Help Needed
Mike;
I am currently running a Tillotson on my 30 Coupe and had a lot of trouble with it leaking. I think that the gas will run all over the pot metal making it hard to determine where the leak actually is. I changes the valve and put in a Grosse valve, sanded the one flat area where the carb separates on a wheet of glass to flatten it, etc, etc, and it still leaked. Finally I did the unthinkable and double gaskedted it where the two halves meet. Leak gone.
However, I always shut the gas off at the tank when I am stopped for more than a few minutes.
Having said all of that the car does run very nicely with the Tillotson carb.
