jeanc47 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 We've been having a problem with fuel falling back down out of the carb and making it diffcult to start. My husband nneds to crank and crank to try and get it to turnover. The Ford site suggested I try here. A percolation problem was mentioned. We've changed the fuel pump, and worked on the carb. Any suggestions or advice would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I had the same problem with my 55 fairlane with the teapot carb and a rebuild did not fix it,all I did was crank the motor untill the oil light went out and then pumped the gas and it would fire right up. It must be a common problem as a friend with a 54 lincoln has the same problem but a modern holley carb fixed the problem for good. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
