That engine with a 268,should purr like a kitten. Its just a matter of time.
Mine with a 232*, sure does.One second its idling; the next second, the tires are screaming for mercy.Then its cruising along at 1800, on high alert, ready to explode again. Just thinking of the memories has me all gooey inside.I cant wait for the street-sweepers to come around and get rid of the winters sand and gravel. Then it will be GO-TIME, again.

hahaha Glad to make some memories for ya. :burnout: Yep, it did idle all purrrrrrty like at one time.. I just have to find that missing link!

Timing won't change just from sitting. Probably can rule that out. Carburetors & fuel systems on the other hand are very subjective to their environment. I'm sure you stored it ok, but conditions like weather and fuel change all the time. Look down the top of the air horn while it's running & see if it's dribbling fuel into the venturies. I don't know for sure if the QFT carbs have backfire protection built in or not(although I have seen even the newer Holleys PV's get blown out even with it) so a PV change might not be a bad idea. Try tweaking the float level down on the one that's at 3/4. Just go in small increments to see if there is any difference. Hard to help over the web, wish I could be there to see it & help you out more!

Its all good, any little bit helps. I appreciate the kind gesture.

I've looked down the carb while it was running and didnt see it dribbling fuel. Since I have spare Pv's here I'll change that. Oh and for your knowledge according to QFT's website, they do have backfire protection. I had to look it up since I wasnt sure either. LOL I'll also be checking all the passages on the carb, just in case something is plugged. I'll lower that float bowl level also. I was thinking it was slightly on the high side.
