I know of no fuel system which increases fuel pressure when hot , do you ? Yes this case may well have fuel vaporisation that's why I asked that the fuel pressure be checked when the engine is turned off and watched for 20 minutes thereafter .

Weber carb. It sits on a plastic heat sink spacer and the pump is mechanical.

My Turbo seems to run really well on Esso 99 as well. Much better than on BP or Shell

http://www.southerncarbs.co.uk/onlin...cessories.html Couldn't find the thermal gasket so if you contact them, they should be able to help with your 38DGAS carb. Alternatively i just remembered these people and here's the item that is most likely to help : https://www.burtonpower.com/carb-bas...nto-fv766.html Also check your air cleaner inlet, certain Fords had a snout on them that could be rotated for winter and summer to inhale warm or cold air respectively. Usually it pointed downwards over the exhaust manifold for the hot air in winter position and faced forwards for summer. Definitely worth running on 98 octane unleaded, the Essex wasn't really built for anything less than 4 star which is what 98 Super Unleaded replaces.

That was a problem in the 1980s as well so not fuel .. The volvo 440 with a twin choke downdraught carburettor has a small fan which blew air over the carb for about half an hour when you turned it off to prevent that problem .

Thats right, i remember them.
Thanks for the replies chaps, I will check out Burtons anyway. Spirit of Barry Lee and all that. You can get back to Volvos now! Cheers, Jim |
