Re: Still problems with Carter AFB - need thoughts
geezer and randy - thanks much - this is the only Carter AFB I've ever had among all of the Q'jets, Edelbrocks and Holleys on these many old trucks, and the first time I've encountered "too high" fuel pump pressure. Plenty too low. Never too late to learn something, and you are teaching.
The Carter worked great for 12 years and now having taken it apart for cleaning, I like it. The dual inlet/float setup was a surprise, but explains why the engine started occasionally running on one bank once the needles became coated/sticky.
We're into a half blizzard this weekend in the high country and it's too cold to stay out in G3 to work on this thing, so I'll get after the pressure regulator and get back here once this thing is up and running. Thanks a bunch.
