Re: [T3] not pumping fuel

["Brad Mularcik" <BnPWOODtype3@att.net>]

<x-flowed>Well,
   It is now pumping fuel.  It seems that the pump just wasn't getting 
primed.  My new problem is that it seems to be pumping too much fuel.  The 
left carb (kadron) is leaking around tthe float.  The guys at lowbudget.com 
where I bought the ccarb says that the problem is most likely too much fuel 
pressure.  He said it is overcoming the float valve.  According to him, 
Kadrons need about 1.5psi, while many stock pumps are about 4psi.  Any other 
darksiders here have any experience with this?  The guy told me to check my 
fuel pressure.  I will have to figurre out what kind of guage to get.

   Aside from the leaking carb, the engine actually runs.  I ran it for a 
few minutes at a time.  I did not want to let too much fuel leak everywhere, 
so I shut-r-down until the excess evaporated away, and the engine cooled a 
bit.  With the left carb float leaking, the left side is running rich.

   If I can get the fuel/carb leak unser control, I should be able to do my 
30 minute 1800RPM break in, and then some fine tuning.

Thanks
