Edelbrock Carb dripping fuel in after shut down..

Never had these issues before unleaded or mixed fuels in the late 70's . Been putting returns on since and solved many carb rich problems. I am not a chemist so I always call it ethanol type fuel. We use to call it corn gas back in the day. But what I can tell you is my Duster had the same issue with 114 and 116 race fuel. That is why I spent the $500 for what I needed to run a return. Big difference when going round after round with no cool can or on the street.

I would always have to start the car and turn the pump off and on until cool fuel got to the carb until it would idle, before the return was installed. Take it to the drive in up the street and it would not restart without doing that .

After the return was installed it never did that again and the car ran leaner that I had to put smaller low speed air bleeds in the carb. Yes we had rich lean gauges in each bank.


I didn’t disagree with you. I run a return line on anything I can.

My point is the corn in the fuel gets the blame but it’s other chemicals causing the issues.

I’d love it if we could get 25% ethanol from the pump. I could run 13:1 on that with no issues.

But I do have an issue with using arable land to produce fuel rather than food. That said we have thousand and thousands of arable acres of land lying fallow we could use.

Yes, I’m conflicted lol because there really isn’t a good answer except run a return line because it helps and it works.
