I am never surprised when people have "carb issues" (when they never "pre-flight" the system) prior to trying to make it run on the engine.

Course I was Trained (Mandated) by the Federal Government to inspect the engine prior to every engine test on the Emissions Cell, be it at my company's dynos or at the EPA's dynos.

So you get in the habit, (5 minutes max) to go over the engine and make sure that all of the parts are functioning before firing the engine.
I did this "Visual Inspection' stuff back in the old Carb Days in the 70s and 80s.

That training has never failed me. 5 minutes. Some spend hours wondering why their stuff does not perform properly.

I did stuff for a Reason.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
