SteveJ Posted July 8, 2017 Share #241 Posted July 8, 2017 I replaced the fuel rail with braided lines, placing them closer to the carburetors and away from all of the heat of the engine. So far, I have not been able to replicate the heat soak problem I was having before. Maybe I finally slayed the dragon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend on Facebook did something similar with banjo fittings to the SUs. I asked him for more information on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am experimenting this fuel percolation issue during traffic jams and long idle time. Where did you bought this hoses and fittings? What sizes and types. I need a list of the precise lenght and type of hoses and fittings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z dreams Posted July 9, 2017 Share #251 Posted July 9, 2017 Flushed the crud out of my fuel tank after soaking for a month with vinegar. Very pleased with the results. Now one more vinegar soak for another week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted July 10, 2017 Share #252 Posted July 10, 2017 Helped out a fellow forum member with a broken alternator adjuster. Taka has a beautiful Rebello built motor in his custom 260, but needed a temporary fix for a bad adjuster. A new one is on its way from 'murica. Pulled one off my spare engine.Cleaned it up in the sandblaster then wire wheeled it and shot it in clearcoat. Can't have a sows ear in that silk purse!Now he can at least drive until the billet replacement shows up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
