Don't let the appearance of vapor in the filter fuel you. The engine can still be getting plenty of fuel, even when it looks like that. If it is under pressure, fuel is guaranteed to be getting to the carburetor. Any vapor that makes it to the carburetor will burp off immediately. I had a '66 Le Mans that turned high 13s in the quarter and the see-through filter always looked half-full. It may well be fuel delivery, but the appearance of that filter doesn't prove it.

Also, if when you remove the fuel line from the carburetor there is pressure, then the fuel pump diaphragm and poppet valve are not leaking. The more we see, the more culprits are eliminated.

I'll go back through this thread tomorrow and try to see if we're all missing something. Nothing I like better than making something work, though I'd rather have it in front of me instead of on the computer.
