fuel/carb problem

[taank]

ill give it another look tomorrow but i have done that and havent noticed anything. At least not on top of the carb blades. Have yet to open them and look down inside. Any ideas what would be doing it if it was leaking gas into it? Im sure thats what is happening but dont really see any fuel pooling.

I had a warped baseplate or main body or a combo of the two. I just got a new carb. Proform makes performance minded replacements

Good god.

It's not your power valve or dust in your idle screws.

Hard restart is almost always the fuel pump not releasing pressure after the car is off and the pressure escaping through the needle and seat, bringing fuel with it and causing minor flooding.

Look down the carb, pull a plug, heck, lift the carb off and see if fuel is pooling under the carb.

Isn't this the car where people here told you to stick with a mechanical pump?

BTW, 5 seconds cranking is really not bad.

This is one thing that i thought it could be do you have any idea how to fix this i was thinking of turning the psi down to around 4 psi. I know i should of not wasted all the money i did it was really a dumb decision but i would like to get it working right. Any ideas?

well i was looking at it and it seem that fuel is seeping out of the slit in the bore of the secondary and it looks like fuel is backed up in one of the air bleeds on the same bore.
Going to try to blow out the air bleed and try again. Any other ideas?

does the hard start happen when the engine is hot or cold?

Either way hasnt really been affected by engine temp. Maybe a slight difference but not really a noticeable difference.

The problem i have is when i run the car then shut it off for a few minutes

[jp67stang]

Good call i can run it for 20 sec. or 1 hr with the same results.

not yet blowing out the air bleeds seemed to help it but not fix it. Still looks like fuel is seeping out of the secondary slit in the bore.

You over tightened the bolts. Get it machined flat.

ill spray carb cleaner around the carb base but i dont think thats what it is.

Bring it to Pat. Never touch a carb again

It's warped on the inner area. Mine did the same thing. Too much heat and torque ftl.

if gas is coming out of the small slit under, or kinda on the side of the butterflys in the back its going to be that the powervalve is bad or powervalve gasket is bad or the seal to the back fuel bowl is bad, but if you sead the back fuel level is right, thin you are ok (not the seal) and if you leave the pump on you will find out vary quick if the seal was bad
