I removed my carburetor, cleaned it (chem dip + wire brush, new seals, some new lines), and reinstalled it back into the Datsun. My Before pictures weren't good enough because I don't seem to have connected the lines correctly. I can start the engine and it'll run, but after I turn it off, it smells strongly of gasoline, the starter turns, but the engine won't start. I think it's flooded because it'll start if I wait an hour or two.
Two views of the carbs in their current condition: Couple of questions:
- I've marked the fuel line in red. It goes from the fuel filter at the front-right of the car (not shown), feeds both carbs, and then goes into a tube leading into the firewall.
- What is the line in green? It currently goes from the bottom of the left carb to a t-junction in between the carbs, and then to the bottom of the right carb. Is that correct?
- What is the component in yellow? The t-junction leads into this.
Thanks,
BC
