Hello all, I know I'm probably using up more than my share of bandwidth here, but I hope this will be a quick one. I'm getting real close to my maiden voyage. My car was not so far gone when I got it, so I decided to get it going quickly (1 year) and enjoy it a bit before I really tear into it. So, I'm anxious to get on the road.
Ok. My car sits for a few days, starts up beautifully, idles fine, even runs fairly well under load. (I took it up and down the street.) I get it back home turn it off for five minutes, and nearly run the battery down trying to get it started again. I did not press the gas pedal one time, but the smell of gas is strong. I then tried holding the pedal to floor, to let the gas out of the carbs, didn't help. It's done this consistantly every time I run it and try to start it again. I noticed the little tube coming out of the manifold is dripping. (gas?) Is it just flooded? Arggh!
Endless thanks, Lester
