Just started it up today, but have some problems finding the right hight for the float boal. Anybody have any tips to -easy- accomondate the right hight without having to try 10 times back and forth which I allready have been doing without any luck  Sad

By the way the carbs are the reproduced 51,5 idas with a glass ball vent..

Hope somebody can help..

No you`re not the only one. What fuel pressure are you running?

Interresting beetlebug, im gonna try that next time I get the chance to work a little on the car.

But the funny thing is I put my buddys floater and vent in my carbs, (he has a set of aftermarket 48 ida with steal vent) and the problem was solved.. But I think he wants them back again Tongue

Probably because of the steal vents?

Maybe because of the steel vent yes, but dont know for sure... Is the glass ball vent normally more sensitive than the steal ones?

Normally I don`t know but mine sure was. Try with less pressure to see if you experience the same as I did.

Hi Jakob, volume was no problem, pressure was. Holley blue pump, Holley regulator and 10mm line all the way from the tank to the carbs.

So, I got the problem fixed I think Undecided Bend the little thing on the floater back and forth a couple of times and came up with a setting that worked out.But how can I be sure that the chamber is full when the glass ball vent close for the flow? So that I will not run out off gaz when I put the pedal to the metal Cool
