Gentlemen,and Ladies...
H E L P !!!!!
I purchased the 65 VW on a 64 pan with a 71 AE 1600 DP with a pair of Kadrons 40's....
The beast was acting like it had a clogged carb, so I disassembled and rebuilt them with a pair of carb kits. (First Time)
So here is the issue, I put everything back together, and I can get it running strong in the driveway, but if I take it out in the 'hood, I get hesitation, and jerking, if I open it up on the hiway, I can get through 3rd, and then 4th I loose power, and can only go about 50, running at about 3200RPMS, nothing more, can't get anymore out of it. I get home, and the lefty is flooded, spilling out of the top, worse is I have fuel coming out of my mufflers!! I was getting 6lbs of fuel pressure from the fuel pump, so I added an inline regulator to tune the pressure down to 1.5-2lbs. (I read somewhere on the net this was optimal for the Kadrons..) the right carb is fine, I read that these thing have a small bearing under the accelerator pump spray bar, but when I disassembled, there was nothing there.
there is also some type of brass plug in the bowel on the left side, that looks like you have to thread a screw into it, and then pull it out, or something???\
Don't want to jack it up, so I have not farted around with that yet, but I think the is another check valve in there too??
Thanks for everything!!!
