Hi Biged, couple of questions;

Did your engine show this problem before or has it started recently?

Which engine are you running?

Is your air filter clean?

Is your fuel pump mechanical or electric?

Have you removed the carb or intake manifold recently?

hey henk from oz Got a 302 weind intake carb and intake tight and yes this problem

did start about a month ago. I read under the heading last night Fuel constriction and realized my fuel filter was kinda empty looking so i unhooked it and its easy to hold back the fuel

so i was thinking the concentric lobe worn mechanical pumps no more gotta wait to buy electric pump till next week. air filter is still within reason also. another thing ,, I noticed steam or fuel mist in my new napa gold filter witch was riding on the heater core line so i moved it out of the engine compartment down on the frame seems alittle better thanks. another little nut if i park up a hill i have to prime the carb to start her back up or manualy choke it and turn her over alot to start it again.

One more thing i did today is to put a timing light on her and she was way advanced .

I put that right problem still there loosing my mind in schoharie county !!!!!!!

Hi Biged, only two things come to mind, firstly the one we touched on namely the fuel pump, but you have got that under control.

The second is the floats in your carby, I am a Holly man but I am sure the Edelbrock works on same principles, maybe your float levels are too low or a float is leaking or sticking,set the float levels on level ground. I f your floats are pointing East/ West you might consider converting to the ones that point North/South just imagine the forces on the floats on a steep incline, give that a try.
