Can anyone help me with this problem? I was at a light in my '75 B when
the engine stalled... i restarted, but soon realized something was amiss
when the engine repeatedly stalled at idle... it had been running fine...
i was able to make it home to the garage...
When I tried restarting the engine, i could hear the fuel pump clicking
away before engaging the starter... the engine would then not start after
engaging the starter... i then smelled gas, quickly turned off the engine,
and looked under the car... fuel was coming out of the vent tube
(connected to the running-on-control valve, which is connected to the
charcoal adsorption canister) and pouring onto the floor!
i noticed a vapor line from the twin-HIF carbs was disconnected and
reconnected it... i have not tried restarting the car, as it appears that
there is definitely gas in the adsorption canister...
any ideas? i'd appreciate anything...
p.s. i recall a message from a fellow several months back who had his
canister fill up with gas, but can't recall the problem or the fix...
thanks!
