I recently had a problem with my Speed Deamon 650 Carb that I bought from LarryW from this Forum. A couple of weekend ago (When it wasn't raining here in NH) I picked my son up from a local High School football game in my Pantera and we had a very "fun" ride home. After the 2nd WOT run we came to an intersection and the car died. I got her re-fired and headed for home. On the way we had a couple other WOT runs just before pulling in to our development. As we're coasting around the neighborhood the car starts to sputter, and when I pushed in the clutch to get in the driveway she dies again. I'm thinking I hurt something bad and feel like crap because she wouldn't start after that and I could smell gas. The next day I thought I'd try my luck and she started right away. (Big relief) She had problems maintaining an idle. After shutting her down I could hear a trickling noise from the carb. I had gas flowing from the secondary boosters with the car shut off.
I e-mailed LarryW and he thought it was a fuel level issue. He offered to come over to where the car was and give me a hand.
Wouldn't it happen to be that it's raining!!! That did not stop Larry! I set up my EZ-Up and he did his thing. After a couple of flame ups from the carb and a couple of adjustments, I'm back up and running.
