I just now realized why my assumption was wrong. The gas enters the filter on the outside of the element, goes through the element, and then exits from the inside of the element. Duh ........MO

If the fuel filter was mounted straight up and down, I don't think you could have that air gap. Mounted at an angle , I think you would have air trapped in the corner. ........................MO

Why the hell can't these aftermarket sending units have the same resister units built like the original ones? All of them have the same problem.....MO

A large air cleaner will not clear a 2 speed wiper motor....MO

Wonder how it is for removal of threaded parts, and how hard to clean off when parts are disassembled?............MO

Did you happen to notice if you had black exhaust smoke when your A/F gauge showed rich at those lower rpm 's ? ............................MO

At what point should a person consider going to a 50cc acc. pump on the secondary? Assuming timing and advance curve is right. Trying to get the big bog out at under 2000 rpm( 4 speed) And I can't get enough gas through the mechanical secondaries to make black exhaust smoke...

Some time back, Sta- bil advertised a new product that also kept the gas tank from corrosion above the fuel level. It was pricey. Today I found it on sale for about $5 at Wally World, so I bought it. My Harley tank had evaporated all the fuel out , and rusted inside. I put some Apple Cider...

Sta-bil also has a additive that keeps the inside of your gas tank from rusting due to condensation and other factors. It is supposed to even work in the upper part of your gas tank--above the fuel. Rather pricey as I recall.. BTW a rich idle circuit will smell gassy at the exhaust. A Holley...

Then why do all automakers have a screen or filter on the pick-up?............................MO

So that means un-filtered gas goes thru your fuel pump? I don't know if there could be a down side to that......................MO

Not un-common for the filter "sock" to be off the fuel sending unit. I actually saw a piece of sock tied on the end of the pickup tube. .........................MO

You might want to use the "see through" gas filters Maybe you can monitor how clean the gas is. I looked into a metal filter , and was surprised to find that one, only had a fine screen inside. I know old tractor sediment fuel bowls had a screen so fine ,they would filter water out of the...

It could be your jet size-primary and secondary together may be to large in total. I once had a 327 chebby I traded for. Had a nice cam in it and aluminum hi-riser. Holley carb. It ran terrible --huge bog when the secondaries kicked in. I checked the numbers and found out the Holley was for a...

Good heavens! What is all that crap in the filters from??. That confirms my thought on your problem --fuel starvation. Are you using ethanol in a possibly dirty fuel tank or old gas lines? especially if any are rubber. That stuff will break crud loose and plug fuel filters. #88 jets...

Try to make just a little improvement, and everything goes to he**! I tried adjusting the front float. Couldn't get gas to come up to the bottom of sight plug. In so doing, the needle and seat flats for the adjust nut got so far down, I couldn't get them back up again. Finally got it back up...

Sorry if I am posting to much on someone elses thread, but hopeing my experiences now, is helping someone. I took Brutus out on a test run, and what I have done has helped a lot. Next thing to do is check the float level this afternoon, and start playing with main jet sizes later. I can not...

That is what I did. I had several power valves, but the size rating marking is so bad, you can't see them even with a magnifying glass. The new 2.5 valve was clearly marked. I read that you can take a hand vacume pump that has a built in vacume gauge , and not only test if it is working, but...

Is there a way to test to see if the power valve is operating as it should? .....................MO

It gets confusing. Vacume holds the power valve closed which blocks off additional gas. Dropping the vacume because of acceleration opens the power valve ( the " at rest" position) and lets additional gas into the venturies. So in a 2.5 power valve, any vacume above that holds the valve...
