another carb question

[BlueBoxFJ60]

ok i think this is my 3rd post on carbs this week.

i fixed the last problem (surging rpms. i got a carb from a friend) but now i got the new carb on there and at first it started great. it started fine, idle great. i let in run for about 5 min in the garage, then i took it around the block and it runs GREAT but when i made the last curve it died!!! i let it sit a few min. and i barely got it to restart and i limped home with the choke all the way out.

i got back in the garage and opened the hood.( i still had the air assemply off) and i open the hood as the cruiser dies again. what i see is gaseous vapor that smelled like gas coming out the top of the engine side carb barrel.

i then let it sit some more and tried to re-start and i cant see any gas in the window??

Does it just need some tuning, how do i adjust the float, or am i now where near the right solution??






Also on a side note my air in the cabin as been workin on and off. mostly off and now with the new carb it works great again. is there any connection from air blower in cabin to the carb, or am i so tired i am imagining things????????

having it die like that makes it seem like a bad ground to the FCS...but saying about having no fuel in the window might be a few things...a clog upstream of the carb. I.e. fuel filter, possible fuel pick up, also might be your fuel pump fritz in out on ya brotha...


goood luck.

did ya check the ground on the FCS? is the float sunk?

i take that back i checked my records and the fuel pump is a after market that is now 1.5 years old

did ya check the ground on the FCS? is the float sunk?

what is FCS ground? how do i check?


i ran it a few more times and it is just not getting gas except for when i pump it. which hints more towards the fuel pump.

Fuel Cutoff Selnoid( the green plug on top the carb) just search it there is a zillion threads about it.

As for the fuel pump pull the hose off of the pump and see if fuel is coming out.
