So after a couple weeks of tearing the CIS off for a Weber conversion, finding out I needed PMO manifolds, getting those ordered, taking off the engine shroud and cleaning and painting it, a rebuilt alternator and powder coated fan, removing the intake studs, then installing the manifolds, 40IDA3C carbs...
Then today, finally, got the fuel lines on, hooked up to a carb fuel pump, weeks of work to spend the weekend tuning....turn on the pump...
FUEL LEAK at the gaskets above the needle valve on one carb....
Bummer.
PS. Anybody in Houston have extra Weber gaskets?
