Fellow LCer's Update: Went for a quick 10 minute ride and came back. No bubbles in the filters. Went 100 miles and everything seems ok. No stalling, no dieseling, no bubbles. Nearest thing I can think was causing the dieseling, when taking the carb off, I did find some fuel on top of one...

No, Kept it at spec. I can do that. Acceleration is not an issue. Just at the stop. Also, with the Fuel return, have not had a dieseling issue so far. 🤞 I am going to check the following methodically: Disconnect the fuel return line and plug it at the carb and see if the bubbles disappear...

Hi Jonny C Timing and Dizzy: Yep removed the Vac line from the dizzy and plugged it when I set the timing on the BB. That blocked vacuum from the carb. Should it be plugged at the distributor? That would be new to me. Let me know. I'll do some research too. Converted the DGES to a Cable...

Yeah thanks Brian. I thought that as well. Why would I see bubbles in the fuel filter and the glass bowl? The fuel filter is before the fuel pump, so would that mean air is coming in before the fuel pump? I can check that tomorrow. Lastly, I did adjust the supply from the fuel pump to the...

Well what a waste of time and sweat equity Took it for a ride. While I'm driving, it is OK. Come to a light. It fricken stalls. F me. Here is what it looks like while at idle: Difficult to see but the fuel filter and bowl are half filled, and bubbles are generated from the fuel coming in...

Fellow LCers' Update: I have routed the return line back to the gas tank. Actually, I do not have a return hole access in the fuel tank, so routed it to the fuel overflow in the fuel filler overflow, so it will go back into the tank. And yes I have added clamps to the lines. It is flowing...

Thank you!

All, Question on the plumbing of the return fuel line to the tank. The carb is higher than the tank. Does fuel pressure push the fuel back to the tank, or does gravity do the job? Reason for the question I plan on running the return line by the valve cover utilizing the clamps on the outside...

@brian, Not sure what is the difference between new and what I have? Where would the PCV connect? I am assuming it is a single piece of billet aluminum with a PVC connector? Where would I find that? Weber site? Boaf

Hi All, Progress update: Removed the carb and the plates. No initial sign of a leak, until I pulled off the adapter. On top of the Allen bolt that holds the adapter plate, the bolt closest to the Valve Cover, I had some fuel in the top of the Allen key (Right side of picture 1). No other...

Hi All, Update: Well gents, still have the dieseling after shut off. I am pulling the carb (which is a DGES not a DGAS) and will set baseline adjustments on the bench. Also will confirm that the fuel is going in the correct side, currently supply is on the drivers side (old picture but same...

I believe I have researched my answer. There is a restrictor on the return that I should be able to see in the Weber. In checking other connections, I see that the brass connector to the supply side was 1/2 turn loose, so see what happens there. Checked all the other clamps and fuel pump...

All, Question, does it mater which side of the Weber Carb is the fuel supply side and which is the fuel return to tank side? I am plumbing the return to the tank (or before the fuel pump) and wonder if there is a difference. Also replacing the gaskets under the adapter and between the carb...

Thank you @byron. Going through them now.

Hi @Milkshake , Can I run a fuel return line from my Weber to the supply line before the fuel pump? I do not have a return port in my fuel tank. Also, in your post, the return line is on the passenger side of the Weber, correct...
