Ok,ok, I know the answers will be throw away the Weber and go back to stock. Which I might but not so easily reversible.
But hoping for some help from those of you who have chosen to endure with a Weber carb.
I’ve got a new Weber 38 DGAS on the 60.
Starts, idles, run beautifully. Will idle in my driveway for 5 minutes or so then apparently gets nervous and floods out.
So from previous posts and searching have tried lots of things.
I‘ve regulated the fuel pressure down to just under 3 psi.
I’ve yanked out the regulator and tried the jeep style ful filter with the return bypass.
Tried both.
Finally gave up and took to my mechanic.
Well he’s got six or so hours into it and has given up.
He did find and fix a vacuum leak I missed,
Disassembled and cleaned carb. Installed new needle valve, float, and accelerator pump.
Adjusted float multiple times.
He‘s put a pyrometer at base of carb to see if hot enough to boil bowl. It isn’t.
We’re at our wits end.
So anything I or my mechanic might be missing?
He even inspected bowl to see if it was maybe cracked and would leak out.
Seems pretty basic to me. If my pressure is correct the pump can’t push gas past needle valve. And if float and need valve is good then the bowl can’t flood.
what the heck am I missing?
Thanks!
