Steve Braverman Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 When your car bursts into flames, ask the carb guy if updraft carbs are supposed to do that to.It should only drool fuel if it's flooded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimstulga Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I used a BB1 carb on my '30 CJ Chrysler for a while and it ran great, but went back to the DR8 brass bowl original one. Both were rebuilt by Jeff Dreibus "The Old Carb Doctor" as he calls himself in the WPC newsletter advertisment for services offered. I didn't have any gas leaks with the BB1. I recommend using Jeff, but be prepared to wait.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tusler 49 New Yorker Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It is my understanding that the fuel is making things run hotter because of the ethanol and when we shut off the car of course temp rises since cooling system is not functioning so the gas goes up and out of the vent tube. My 49 does this and it causes it to be flooded when I come out of the auto parts store or whatever and try to start up to leave. I read somewhere on the forums that a spacer between the carb and the manifold is suppose to help this but I do not know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
