Seems like the fuel might be boiling over in the carb? Right now I'm running a regular thickness carb gasket, non insulated steel fuel line from pump to carb, and the heat crossover on the intake isn't blocked off.

I have a feeling that's gonna have to change.







Unfortunately not yet! That's one of the things I need to diagnose why it's not working. Everything is new, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Idle circuit is lean.....
Put a gun on the T stat and the fuel bowl and get some accurate temps. ?/
