Any good carb people in the area?

[Karps TA]

I'm having issues this spring, that I'm not figuring out. I've taken my Demon apart twice now and I'm stumped.

The car will start up but barely run. Give it any amount of gas and is sputters and dies, usually with a quiet backfire thru the carb and a bunch of smoke. I'm guessing there's something inside the carb I'm missing.

I did a crap job of putting the car away last fall. I thought I'd use it more but didn't so it basically got no winterization. I'm sure the crap gas we have has something gummed up.

Call Clint @ C&S. Tel him Joe told you to call. He may be able to help you out.

Check the timing.......

[Karps TA]

I'd love to if I could get it to run long enough. Besides that the car ran fine last fall. Nothing has changed cept shitty gas sitting in it for 6 months. I can't imagine that the timing could have changed.

I'll give C&S a call.

did you drain al; of the old gas out? and does it have new good gas in it? talk to Ron juicedimpss he can help you out and he isnt to to far from you

[Karps TA]

LOL, yes I drained the old gas. And I even remembered to put new gas in it.

Seems to me the it's getting too much gas. I've jagged around with everything I know, which admittingly isn't much.

[Reverend Cooper]

did you check the float level? is there a sight glass the carb to see that without opening it up.

[Karps TA]

Yep, float level looks fine.

You're pretty close to me...if you and Ron have a tough time hooking up, I could pinch hit. I'm pretty busy this week, but if you're up past 8:30pm or so, I could swing by and go through it too....

[Karps TA]

3rd strike, I'm out.

I'll gladly take anyones help who can/ wants to.

[GRNDNL]

Disconect the fuel supply and start it using a squirt bottle with gas in it, if its a carb problem it should run......Still sounds like the timings retarded......

[jbiscuit]

Did you check your fuel filter? Maybe it got clogged up with sediment from the tank? Check that....also do like Keith said and try running it right from a bottle with gas in it. It has to be something simple if the thing ran fine when you put it away.

[juicedimpss]

i could take a peek at it,but im tied up until next week.

[Karps TA]

I'm going to double check the dist position to make sure nothing is goofy there. I can't imagine why the timing would change though.

[juicedimpss]

is the accelerator pump shooting fuel through the squirters?

[Karps TA]

Yes.

What will happen is it will start but then sit there and only idle at like 500 rpms. Sometimes it will surge while trying to run. But again it's barely running.

Then if you give it any kind of gas it falls flat on it's face, gas sprays out of the top of the carb and there's a big puff of smoke.

[juicedimpss]

have you cleaned the air bleeds?

[Karps TA]

Man, I went thru the carb and sprayed every hole I could find with carb cleaner till the stuff came out another hole. Then sprayed air thru it as well. I can't imagine I missed any orifice in the damn thing. And seeing as I had no idea where some holes lead, I've got a shirt drenched in carb cleaner as the proof. lol

been there.
does it seem like its loading up with fuel,or a lean sneeze/bog?

[Karps TA]

I'd lean more to the lean sneeze/bog. But it's spraying alot of fuel thru the top of the carb. I didn't put the carb on upside down, so that's not it. lol

In the past I've had some issues with it "loading up" and it was always something I could throttle thru so to speak. But this won't let me give it any gas what so ever. I can't even turn up the idle without it puking gas back at me.
