The problem came back after about 3 days and maybe 20 starts. Its worse than ever and its not possible to put the car in gear with a cold engine without it dying. Will have to take it apart again and see whats up this time.

I did a test run with the car, shut off and started the engine a few times and the problem is solved. It was the brand new brass disc with a ball valve pictured in post 29 that was dysfunctional from the factory.. Thanks for all the input it was a big help in knowing what to look for!

Oh both are brass, they are literally identical to look at! These floats came on the carb, whether or not that have been changed I don't know, I assume they haven't. They are the brass floats that are rectangular without a cut out slice/section, from what I understand you measure float hight...

I did a test: I manually filled the pump well with fuel, then the pump circuit works and I could pump it and make fuel squirt out of the two nozzles in the primary. Then I did the test again filling the pump well and the corresponding bowl and put the two parts of the carb together, I could...

There was a small bit of dirt died in or stuck on the the brass disc which a scraped away, it was in the corner part where it goes from flat to 90 degrees up, other than that it seemed clean .. forgot about the rag when I did though, so something could have been missed... The check ball was...

So in the first test I did gasoline for 15 minuted in just the oil pans, In this test I did diesel for 24 hours in the oil pans and bowls. Not a sign of moisture coming through the oil pans or the bowls in either case unfortunately. JB weld may not be a perfect&permanent fix like RustyRatRod...

Cool, I filled the "fuel oil pans" and the bowls with diesel this time just enough so it wont climb the walls. Going to leave it overnight and see if anything comes through. The whole plastic resin part looks very good, couldn't fins any cracks anywhere..

Which is the shooter? The pump nozzle assembly?

1. Squirter Nozzle I never actually removed it during the "rebuild" but I checked and it was in place. With mouth i could blow air though the hose so it exited though the nozzles in the primaries but couldn't suck air back. Pic. 1 2. Tube Was not damaged, disconnected or clogged Pic.2 3. Mini...

Damn it never crossed my mind.. Thanks for the tip!

Naturally with my luck I had to do that, they were leaking baddd :eek:

Yes I did, will check on that when I get access to it.

Yeah your right I have absolutely no idea what an accelerator squirter check valve is. If you google "accelerator squirter check valve thermoquad" you get nothing and its not that easy to find out. Its not easy to help me either because Im not sure what anything is called. But symptoms can...

Good point that would cause it right? The nozzles are fed from the accelerator pump which is fed from that hose? I replaced the hose with a new one, it was one snug but who knows if it came off somehow..?

Hmmm ...what do they look like?

-----The rebuild:----- So I rebuilt my Thermoquad a while back, the main well O-rings/X-rings were bad but I bought a whole kit to to change out other gaskets etc while I was at it. I did the rebuild to about 85%, I didnt disassemble absolutely everything but I changed the main gaskets, rings...
