After getting some very good advice I thought my backfire/hiccup problem on the 51 232 was solved. My wife drove all around with not problem. Started to go home and the car acted up again. Timing does not effect it. It can be way advanced or retarded and it still balks. Runs smoothly at idle. Has new petronix in it now.That did not fix it. Have a few air bubbles in the fuel pump bowl when running at idle. Pulled carb today and went through every part of it again. Cleaned it. I want to reset the float level. I do not have the tool to do that. What is the measurement for the float for the AUUv26 carb?

Bubbles in the fuel bowl. Are you sure you don't have a leak somewhere? A slug of air would interrupt the power."In the heart of Arkansas."

If the bubbles are caused by fuel splashing into the space it isn't a problem. I had a glass inline filter on my car and a member saw bubbles one day. I had a small leak."In the heart of Arkansas."

The first bowl is a fuel filter. I get around 5psi from the fuel pump. I do not have any restriction on fuel. I have been working on this for months. New fuel pump, Pertronix, rebuilt and recleaned carb, timing has been set all over the place, Fresh gas. Idles fine. Choke has been set to many different settings. Mechanic advance is working. Tried about every idea presented to me. It used to be able to idle and if you gunned it at idle it would be fine. Now it bogs down and backfired out of the carb. I will reset the floats again. It has to be something simple, I am just missing it. Getting ready to move on to a different car and fix this later.51 Studebaker Starlight State Commander Coupe

I can check valves. I installed Pertronix because it was doing this with the distributor. The coil was leaking oil before I replaced it. Pertronix or dist has not effected this problem.51 Studebaker Starlight State Commander Coupe

Check your fuel volume coming thru the pump. My 51 had good fuel pump pressure, but didn’t pump enough volume. I believe the spec is in the shop manual. I rebuilt the “ new” pump I had installed and fixed it. In my opinion, that top of engine mounted fuel pump stinks.....1962 Champ
