Fuel boiling in filter
I noticed yesterday the fuel was boiling in my clear fuel filter. Its a stock 350 with an edelbrock performer carb with a Mr. Gasket adaptor to the quad intake. This setup has been on the truck for 12 years with no trouble. I overhauled the carb 2 weeks ago, just for preventative maintanance.
A friend told me, without looking at the truck, that the intake gaskets are blown out at the heat crossover runner. Allowing full exhaust flow through instead of being restricted through a small hole. Since this started my the carb was worked on, I think that is the problem. What do you guys think? I went to the parts store and they had to order the intake gaskets. ???!!!. I must be getting old. No gaskets in stock for a small block chevy? I guess I should be driving a honda! ED67C20 |

Re: Fuel boiling in filter
Does the motor run good? Sometimes the fuel filter will vibrate and cause the fuel to look like it's boiling but it's just the vibration causing bubbles in the fuel

Re: Fuel boiling in filter
I just went out to start it and it is running really fat. Then it just choked out and it's dead. It has always ran very good when cold. I usually never let it warm up before I go some where.
