Hello, I recently replaced a dead fuel pump in my 60 after a fuel delivery issue, along with blowing out the lines. I also thought it would be a good time to buy a new City Racer aftermarket carb in order to rebuild my OEM.
I replaced the pump and fuel comes out of my metal line right at the carb at a good rate, but the carb bowl is not filling up at all. The FCS is a brand new 1 wire that came with the carb, and is known to be functioning. If I try blowing into the fuel inlet on my carb, I am unable to. However, I am able to blow into it with only medium resistance on my old carb. When I take off the fitting the metal line attaches to, I see what looks like a small brass mesh inside of the inlet on the carb, while the old carb does not have this. The PO doesn't have the best track record for doing repairs (including a desmog) properly so I do not have a good frame of reference on this.
I am stumped and would appreciate any guidance on what this could be. An assembly issue?
