I'm not getting fuel to the carbs

[Bruce Palmer]

.... is that that teeny little spring that came in your needle and seat set was too strong?

Hmmmmmm.......

Did you readjust your floats?

Sorry Bruce,

I didn't mean to mislead anyone on your carb re-build kits.

When I was putting the carb re-build kit together I lost one of my little springs. It seems I can quit dropping things on my garage floor.

anyway, I lost one so I figured it is best to keep everything on each carb identical. So I used the old springs. (mistake) They aren't the same size as the new springs.

I probably need a new set of the little springs that come with the kit.

Do you have those???

Not only was your re-build kit great but when I watched the video that comes with the kit, the first thing you say not to do is dip your carbs into a bucket of cleaner.

Well, of course I had already done that. You were nice enough to send me the rubber parts that I ruined.

Thanks,

Mark

P.S. now that I have gas going to my carbs I wish I could figure out why sometimes it runs on all 6 cyl's and sometimes it doesn't.

I haven't had much of a chance to tune the carbs yet.

It did seem like I had alot of air pulling from the rear carb and very little from the front.

P.S.S.

Yes I re-adjusted my floats.

But not until I put the bowl tops back on and then realized that I should have done that.

It seems like thats the way it goes. I have to do things several times before I remember all that I was supposed to be doing.

Just to let everyone know.

cutting the springs in half did not do the trick for the needle and seat.

Wouldn't you know you cant get those springs without buying the kit.

I called Bruce at ZTherapy and just by chance he had an extra spring.

He is sending it in the mail today.

I can't say enough good things about ZTherapy.

As I started this project I did alot of research on the Internet and time after time I saw the name ZTherapy mentioned.

Well now I know why.

They are the best in the business.

just for future reference , to get fuel to the mec. pump all you need to do is take a rag and an airline and put A LITTLE PRESSURE in the tank , this will force fuel to the front . It is better than tasting the fuel , healther too. Glad you solved the mystery . Gary:classic:
