Default Re: Starved For Fuel?

Thomas,
I would bet fuel starvation. The backfirk through the carb is a usual sign of that. I'm assuming 3/8 fuel line. I know in my 55 Chev,with the 5/16 line, that is the problem I had.
Also, what kind of ignition and what kind of gap on the plugs?

Peter,
Everything is stock specs except for the exhaust.
The plugs are AC, the points and coil are Canadian Tire (our Canadian members will know who they are) house items (Wells?) I believe.

I think it may be time to check the float settings and then go for another drive an do some more "troublshooting".
