: : : : : What is the most likely cause of the engine knocking off after coming to a stop?The compensator and idle jets, and secondary well, are clear. : : Fred, : I checked the level in the fuel bowl.It was at 1/2 inch, so I bent the float hinge slightly to get a level of 5/8 inch.I took the car for a test drive, stopping frequently to try and make it stall out.Although the engine stumbled once, it never stalled out.Hopefully the problem has been solved.Now I'll have to check the float level in my other car! I was having trouble with fuel overflowing the bowl and leaking out of the airhorn of the carb.I adjusted the float to 5/8's, and now I'm having stalling problems when coming to a stop (but the overflow problem stopped!)Question:from what point on the gasket surface to what point on the float should be used to measure the 5/8 level? |
