stevoturner Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 nar carbi has been reconditioned yeah i think i no for sure its a fuel problem and yeah it sounds to me like the fuel is running straight past the fuel pump and back in to the take cause it only does it what the engine is on a up hill slope parked for more then a hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 dude......SENTENCES. full stops, commas etc. sounds like vapor lock to me, does it start well after you have left it for a loonnnnggg time (ie over night)? if it doesn't start after not driving it for ~20mins, then it can be heat soaking and causing vapor lock. dunno what you can do about that. its kinda a "flaw" with mechanical fuel pumps. vapor lock is an interesting phenomenon. I'm pretty sure i was getting vapor lock at my high pressure pump inlet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
