Bubbles...

Thought I would see if anybody else has run into this problem.

Car starts just fine when cold. After driving around and coming back, with the car off, I notice bubbles coming back from the fuel pump into the inline fuel filter I have installed. Inline filter is installed prior to the fuel pump input. I would have to wait 20 minutes or so for the bubbles to dissipate to restart.

At one time, the bubbles was so much it looked like boiling water.

Figuring the fuel pump, I changed it and installed a new one.

I am no longer getting stuck with a car that won't start, but I still notice some bubbles. Also, restarts although possible seem to take more cranking and gas pedal action than what would be ideal.

Opening the gas cap does not relieve the bubbles. Thus, I think my fuel tank air bleed lines are alright.

Checked with the previous owner and the carbs (Solex) were rebuilt a couple of years ago by a Porsche mechanic.

Suggestions? Ideas?

Thanks,
Greg
