    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

just what it states. i am not exactly sure how the fuel rail works. i seem to be getting fuel to all the cylinders except number 3 and don't know why. i am gonna pull the drain plug on the number 3 carb when i get home to see if the carb has fuel coming out of the bottom so i know the fuel is getting to the carb. if it is i need to find out why it is not getting past the carb?
 
That should only be possible with a stuck float or needle valve. The passages between carbs is pretty large, so I doubt any blockage could form that would actually stop fuel.

Perhaps it's time to dip the carbs and make sure they're clean.
 
remove the whole needle valve from the carb, which includes the needle and seat, a chunk of crap can get lodge behind the seat it self.
 
Yes, it's possible. Besides the ideas mentioned above, there is also a filter screen on top of the inlet to the float valve that can get crudded over and stop fuel flow. :D

I was. Dipped the carbs, runs on four now. One of these days I'll put thr airbox back on and try to get the carb adjustments right.
 
ha............ha...haha.

i knew there were some funny guys in here.

i guess every time you start a thread in this forum it needs to start with.....YES, i have had the carbs dipped and cleaned and rebuilt (with oem parts), and put in new seals and then ask your question. If you dont you only get one answer which is do the above.

i am being sarcastic of coarse. i do appreciate the information i have received, but am sorta serious so everyone knows what you have done.
