Post Re: 1 barrel rochester carb 1967 problem

Glad to hear this ~

Rusty silt is almost always incredibly fine so it whistles right through filters then once it's in the float bowl it begins to clump up and clog things .

I was recently on a Vintage Car Rally and had just this happen , it was running fine until a lunch stop then it wouldn't idle , the clear plastic micronic fuel filter looked perfectly clean but when I took the Air Horn off the carby on the side of the road , there was a chunk of rust blocking the idle and main jets ~ blew them out with my mouth , re assembled and zoomed off again .
