It lives BUT........

First of all I got the beast started up about 10 minutes ago, What a buzz but there is a problem......
I'm runnind a 2.0 pinto with twin dellorto's which seem ok apart from the fact that fuel is running out of pots 3 and 4. Does anyone have a clue as to why it would do this and why only these two cylinders as I thought i'd set them both the same????
Cheers. john.

Stuck float on rear carb?





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

I agree - sounds like a stuck float. Try rapping on the float bowl area with a screwdriver handle while it's running. Often this'll jostle it loose, and it'll stop leaking.

thanks. All sorted now I think that the float in that carb was wrongly set/stuck. top lifted off and a bit of jiggery pokery and hey presto no leaking.
