Needle & Seat
Here is my brilliant luck: I installed a new fuel pump & lines regulator, etc... I go to start the car for the first time & hit the FP toggle, it fires up & dies in about 10 seconds. I shut off the pump. I hear "trickling"... like a dripping sound. Not sure, I pull the air cleaner, pull the front bowl off & inspect the PV... it was fine. Then I hit the toggle again w/ the air cleaner off & watch the carb (950 QF) & I see fuel PUKING out of the front vent/tube on the primaries. I had dumped a TON of fuel down that poor carb!! Pulled the needle & seat, it looked fine, it was sealing & moving like it should. Put it back in the carb & the problem went away. Apparently it was stuck & that is where the fuel goes when it is stuck. (It is a BP system).
Is this just a fluke??? Maybe it sat too long w/o being ran? Had it a 7PSI at the time. Should I replace it (needle & seat) even though this carb is fairly new?? Probably need a new oil change now... there is 100.00 bucks gone in a flash. Scoot
