<div dir="ltr">
<div style="FONT-SIZE:small" class="gmail_default">As I cruised around a few
web sites to scare up a rebuild kit for my stock two barrel, I came across
some interesting pictures. The stock 2 barrel carb is from the "2100"
family. The slightly later but related 2150 family has a significant
difference.</div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE:small" class="gmail_default">I'm suspecting that for one
reason or another, fuel came out of the vent on the top of the fuel bowl,
boiling, leaky valve, or whatever, and this is what fueled my recent
fire. The 2150, instead of just having an open vent hole, has a little
fitting that was apparently designed to accept a hose, perhaps to drain any
overflow to a safe location.</div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE:small" class="gmail_default">So I'm looking for an
extremely low profile right angle fitting... I'm thinking aquarium hose
size... That will fit under the stock air cleaner...</div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div>
<div style="FONT-SIZE:small" class="gmail_default">Any other ideas out
there?</div>
