Does anyone know the measurement from the float bowl edge to the top of the float when in the upmost position?
If you have the float gauge can you measure the protrusion depth? I believe it’s 1/4” but not sure. Thanks.
Hello everyone,
Im currently rebuilding the engine of my Thunderbird. after i removed the carburator i found out that the spacer is milled to an angle.
has this a specific reason ( hood clearence maybe) or has it something to do with the carburator itself?
After getting my carburetor rebuilt, I decided to let the fuel drain out of the bowls for long term storage as I fix the rest of the car. I unscrewed the fuel bowl bolts to do this, but there was no fuel in the primary fuel bowl. The secondary bowl drained fine.
What happened to it? I have...
Carb professionally rebuilt
New gas tank
Flushed fuel lines
New fuel pump
New fuel filter
Max vacuum at idle
Sometimes she will start out ok acceleration but today after all the fixes she started to stumble at 40mph on smooth acceleration. Had to pump her to keep running. Then she ran fine...
I tried to measure idle vacuum from the distributor vacuum line from the carb but it was 0" at idle. Is there another way to measure vacuum at idle? Can't seem to find any other vacuum lines...
Thanks
Bob
