Cleanup turns to mess up. Need some help troubleshooting.
Soooo this whole thing started after i had recently tuned the car up and she was running good. Looked terrible but she fired up everytime and was running fine. The broken hose is the one from the vapor cannister to the connection on the carb. hose was dry rotted so i replaced it.
I took pictures of everything and labeled everything as I separated it. No real issues with the exception of two broken bolts that ran from the intake to the exhaust manifold. But i got those removed and got new ones installed after repaint. I got her all put back together today. I replaced the spacer between the carb, intake/exhaust manifold gasket, valve cover gasket, pcv, air breather and oil cap during the process as well. I reconnected everything just as i took it apart. I didnt noticed quite a bit of fuel that came out of the carb as I turned it during removal though.
After snugging everything down she fired up at the first turn of the key and ran like normal for about 20 secs. After that she died and has started up again since. Im assuming this is a fuel issue. Either too much or too little. I tried putting the peddle to the floor then letting off and trying to turn it over thinking maybe the bowls were empty in the carb or something but that didnt help anything. She just spins and spins. The coil/cap/rotor/plugs/wires were never touched. Ive been tracing all my lines that i disconnected during tear down to make sure everything is good and havent found any discrepencies. Im assuming its something to do with the carb setup on the car. I noticed after trying to start it for 10 secs or so that you can hear it/see it still putting fuel in the carb with the ignition off and key removed. I also noticed some fuel around the base of the carb where the spacer is at the intake manifold/ and down where the preheater hose connection is. Like its leaking out of the carb somewhere.
I know it alot to read, but if anyone can help me out id appreciate it because right now it looks great but doesnt run anymore. Thankyou in advance.
