Fuel filling intake manifold
« on: April 30, 2019, 03:17:22 PM »
I have a 1949 CJ3A with the L134 and a new Solex carb. When I go to start it I get gas filling the intake manifold and blowing out the Carb and will not start. I have a fuel regulator set at 1.5 but that makes no difference. The carb has been rebuilt and checked. Any suggestions?

Tell me about your cold and warm starting procedures. Don't leave out any steps.

HINT: Pumping the accelerator pedal before starting will immediately flood the Solex.

Cold, I pull the choke and turn the key. the engine tries to start then gas starts blowing back out the carb.  Also as a side note, I have NO spacer on the fuel pump.
Hot, turn the key.

Check the fuel pressure. Don't trust the controller.
