[Tigers] "POS" carb

[Allan Ballard]

Thanks everyone,

The fuel tanks have been redone; the floats are set correctly but I don't know
whether they leak or if anything is
sticking.

Since the the carb is new (remanufactured) hopefully the needle/seat is ok
...?

The carb appears to have two spacers each about 1/2 inch thick but I don't
know if either or both are non-heat absorbing---how
to tell?

There is a filter just prior to the fuel line connecting to the carb.

That leaves fuel pressure; makes sense to insert a pressure regulator into the
system.  The fuel pump is a new reproduction of
the factory pump.

past the filter (is there a filter?) you could be having particles not
allowing the float to close.  This might be the cause of the excess fuel.

first things to check.
