Everyday on initial start-up, just hit the starter and she turns right over and runs like a top. But, after running her around town for a bit and I get back in to start her, she eventually starts, but she is flooded. Much more revolutions till she kicks over than when she has been sitting for a while. I'm flooding...right? If yes, solution?  | | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 2,763 Carburetion specialist | | Carburetion specialist Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 2,763 |
Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.

That write up was very informative. So, basically this is just something I have to deal with, and is 'normal'. Still I wish there was another way. Oh well. I'll put up with it. My straight 6 dual carbs are worth it!!  | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | You might have too much fuel pump pressure. Check the pressure & if so put a regulator on it. The heat might be causing the fuel to boil. You might need insulators under the carbs.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

I have tried lowering the floats, but that leans it out where it duns like crap, I have a regulator set to 2 psi fuel pressure, and tried the isolators under each one. Nothing really helps much other then setting them lean. I learn to live with it. Not hitting the throttle helps, but its not the cure. Once started it runs great so I don't worry about it.
Good luck with yours, Joe. | | |
