Is it Ok to ask two unrelated questions in the same post? Well here goes...!
Q1: Can anybody tell me what might be wrong with my almost new TQ? Lately, after just 24 hours -ALL the fuel drains away from the float bowl, including in the fuel line to the carb. So that it will not start unless i pour quite a lot of fuel down the primary throats. Then it starts easily. Or else half flatten the battery by cranking it to get the fuel pumped back into the float bowl so that the accel pump will work. When i mean "pour a lot of fuel down", i mean, considerably more that you would normally get from a few accel pump squirts. It has been hot here lately, but still...it never used to do this after just one day. Maybe after 5-6 days.
Q2: Please see picture of my Edelbrock Victor 340 intake. I want to run the new TQ mentioned above on this square bore inlet, i have the correct spreadbore to squarebore adapter...but is there any disadvantage to this? With gaskets, there will be almost an extra 1inch of height. I know i can't run the auto choke, which is a pity though.
thanks for any help on these, or if they have been answered on this forum previously, please point me in that direction
