A long slow Saturday at Atco's TnT this past weekend, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] For some reason they didn't let us make our first run till 11:30 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] and the car ran slow - 9.35, should have run in the 8.7x's. I adjusted the carb float. Second time shot car ran a 9.26, Ben said the car flat died at the end line - so I figured I'd adjusted the float too far and it was fuel starved. Drop the bowl, full of fuel... car will idle but won't rev. Change carbs, same thing. I notice fuel dripping from the air filter, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] Pull the filter, fire it up - fuel is blowing out backwards. Turn it over by hand it feels easy, pull the head - can spin the intake with my thumb = broken valve springs, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]
A bad day of racing is still better than your best day at work!
