Subject: [Thicko] Problems with a Bugeye motor
Message-ID: <8CB9C91BD6134E6-DF8-13B3@webmail-stg-d08.sysops.aol.com>

I have a 948 Bugeye with 2 1 1/4 inch SUs.? I have been running the car for 10 years and have earned the nickname "Grenade".? I rebuilt the motor this winter with new rings, bearings, valve job etc.?

In the first outing this last weekend it was missing in the 4500 to 5500 rpm range.? It then cleared up and ran great from 5500 to 7500.? In that mid range it spit a gas vapor out of the carbs and drenched the air socks.? I checked for a vacuum leak, changed plugs. cap,?rotor, MSD box?and wires.? It runs too good from 5500 and up to be a spark problem.? 

Why would the carbs (one more than the other) send a mist back out of the carb?? Any experience out there?? I checked the needle valves and they shut off the gas and float levels are consistent and normal.? I am out of ideas.? I also had to replace the springs on the centrifugal weights in the distributor.

The move has commenced, as I've been shuttling stuff every day, but clearly
I 'm going to need a LOT of help.

 

A couple guys might be up this Sat.  More would be good. please confirm if
you're available.

 

After that, every weekend will be shop moving efforts until the end of June,
so, if you can help, please let me know.

 

For those of you that don't know, I'm in WI, an hour north of Milwaukee.

 

Thanks.

I went out to Blackhawk Farms last weekend to crew for a friend in an SCCA Formula Ford, this was taken by a friend of his. Checkout the car porn at 9:07 into it:
