quick cure for overfuelling?
I have got a week at home next week, and want to get plenty done on the car like side and rear panels etc.
but one other thing i want to get sorted is getting the engine started on the key. But i think its overfuelling slighty. Is there anyway to try and
cure this temporarily just to see if this is what its doing? Really starting to bug me as ive had it started using a gravity feed, but cant get it
started using the fuel pump.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers guys.

check the fuel pressure and if need be fit an adjustable fuel pressure regulator
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Is your car on carbs or fuel injection?
If it's on carbs, are you SURE you have got the right kind of fuel pump, if might be a pump from a FI car, if it is the pressure will be too
much for the needle valves in the float chambers.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

Crimping the line probably won't fix it. Find a friend or a shop with a wideband O2 reader and see if they can verify your mixture. If its
off, I'd look into rejetting the carbs.
