was running my nova today in practice and it ran flawlessly with 0 tuning required from my last outing. Engine ran at 101deg all day. I ran the car out of fuel just to see how long I could get on a tank (10min 20sec) and since running out of fuel I’ve gone to fire it back up 20mins later after refueling and the thing has leaned right out. It is definitely sucking air from somewhere I just don’t know where. Replace all fuel tubing and bypassed the fuel filter as process of elimination but still doing it half way up the straight and on the box at full throttle. The only thing I can think of is it is leaking around the base of the top end needle where the needle meets the carb as I noticed this to be a little bit muddy/wet from when I ran it out of fuel.
So my original question is what do you guys use to seal up your carbies ?
put some fuel in the tank ...... remove high speed needle keeping it clean ...... blow though pressure line to push fuel though carburetor intake ...... fuel should come out of the high speed needle housing for 2-3 seconds .... install the high speed needle .... run all the way in and back out to 4 turns form all the way in ..... start again ..... i agree that your plug may be toast as well
