Engine is a r2 with erb dished piston ,dave tbol cone sealed carb,and recurred Mallory dist.
After trying to get f/a ratio in order .All of a sudden I start have vapor lock while accelerating .(starving for gas, hard starts . I start simple change the fuel filter and move it further away from engine to avoid heat( intake manifold exhaust ports already have been blocked with jeff's gaskets and ss plates).Look at fuel pump and pivot pin is sticking out touching fuel pump mounting bolt ,so I put on one of the new r2 fuel pumps, I think it is a Chrysler conversion. I come back to shop after test run and I have gas all over front of carb by the acc, pump .
enough gas is coming out that I have about 1/4 of an ounce of gas in the depression on the manifold in front of carb.
1. so I think floats might be off because I have been changing jets, (they were adjusted correct)
2.screws might be loose causing gasket to leak( they were not)
3.seal on accel. pump might be worn (Have new one on the way)
4 large bowl gasket might be worn and not sealing from jet changing. (new one coming)
5. kicker is now adjusted correct
Has anybody had a problem like this ?
