Hi there,
Here a message from the Netherlands
.
A friend of mine owns a Pontiac 1930 Six. He bougth is out of a crate en assembled it again. So far, so good.
The engine is equiped with a Marvel Carburetter. The fuel was almost running out of this carburettor, so I fixed the floater needle and needle seat. The fuel stays now where it has to bee.
Starting the engine is a big problem. Only playing with the throttle keeps the engine running a bit higher in revs than idle. Idle without playing with the throttle lets the engine stal.
The inlet and exhaust manifold where already mounted on the cilinderheads/engine and I'm afraid, there may be a vacuum leak.
After playing with the throttle, te carburetter is at the bottem flooded with fuel. The rwo front cilinders hardly become warm, the last 4 cilinders get a bit warm.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance and take care of your Pontiac,
Jos
