exactly the reason why you need to run a fuel filter/water seperator. a small piece of dirt can ruin your weekend, not to mention your motor. i have a water seperator before my fuel pump and then an inline smaller micron filter right after my pump.

I got same setup as you. This also another reason to use brass floats instead of the crumbly black neoprene ones.

« **Reply #58 on:** March 12, 2012, 08:53:44 PM »

where did you use gasket sealer?

everything around the carb and fuel should be a solid gasket or compression fitting or barbed/hoseclamp, not some goo that can eventually get sucked in.

on the fuel pump gasket

getting inline filter from pump 2 carb 2day and then i will see how it runs
didnt want anymore rubber crap in the system...

« **Reply #62 on:** March 13, 2012, 02:42:15 PM »

this sucks

any help on where i should start with the needles ? on a holley

« **Reply #63 on:** March 13, 2012, 02:45:26 PM »

what do you mean?

« **Reply #64 on:** March 13, 2012, 02:47:37 PM »

ok just to clarify the float is attached to the needle and seat when te float level gets to a sertain point the float closes the needle into the seat.

« **Reply #65 on:** March 13, 2012, 03:03:01 PM »

well i set them at where the old ones were ...i thought ...but now it just keeps dumping fuel like ALOT and it just keeps pouring in...so this means my needles are way 2 high right?

« **Reply #66 on:** March 13, 2012, 03:38:45 PM »

Off topic but I hear ya. I was raised by my grandfather since my dad worked his ass off 7 days and 12 hours when I was a kid.. he kinda taught me that nothing is super complicated. Always said, "take it apart, and see whatcha see... I saw a float set correctly and fuel going past it no matter what.. too much fuel... Yeah, beyond the grave they still help.
