Good evening, here I am going from bad to worst, tried to tune the carbs, went for a test and the first hill (fortunately close to home) the engine quit and could not get it started.
Towed the car home and went step by step on the rear carb and got it started for a few seconds, then a jet of fuel started spurting from an orifice below the float chamber of the rear carb, and the RPMs were about 3000, shut it off immediately to find out the source.
I don't understand the reason of the orifice (flooding relief?), especially that the front carb doesn't have one.
I have tried to identify the orifice in parts breakdown drawings, photographs of the float chamber, etc. to no avail.
I am on the verge of taking the whole thing apart and sent it for rebuild!
Ideas greatly appreciated
Thank you folks
