Carb Overheat Insulating Washers

[doug fromtheframeup.com]

HI Norm,

 

The washers you mention are probably the later MG series thick washers @ .38 thick.  FTFU offers thinner washers specific for TABC, .20 thick so there is room under the bonnet.

The consensus opinion seems to be that the vapor lock issues are largely due to modern fuel formulation, at least in the U.S.  

For me, Installing a secondary (mine is primary) modern fuel pump has made vapor lock much less of a problem, but not a total solution. No Room for spacers, which cause the air cleaners to hit the bonnet.

 

I look forward to trying the half-cozies described by Sherwood Parker.

Doug,

 

Can t be sure without measuring but I think I fitted the thicker heat blocks and, with the original filter (but with paper filter) there is no problem. I have seen TC s with pancake filters causing problems fouling the bonnet.

Attachments :Hi All.

 

Used H4 I carbs spaced at inch inc gaskets either side GJ needles for over 40 yrs with regular boil ups (leafy lanes!!) never a problem irrespective of type of exh manifold, regular pumps, Did consider a return flow on fuel system, but not been needed yet. ( now changed to LS1 needles) RLS a tad too rich. Does seem a bit better with 97 fuel

 

Best combination on blower driven at 1.3 to 1 with 100 thou jets seems to be RF, even trying RN and some of the K series needles the temp soars pretty quickly.

 

Hope that s helpful

 

Enjoy the sunshine ,pack the lotion and keep the revs up!!!

 

Rock on

 

Nigel

Hi Doug, Do the carb spacers you have require longer studs, or will the originals still work?
