i rebuilt my carb and put everything back together today and i dont know what happened a fire ball came out of the carb from what i think i say and the carb went up in flames i melted some **** too! i dont know what caused this to happen has this happened to anyone b4 or am i that ******* dence?im going to pull the intake mani tomorrow and rip the carb apart again and hope that none of the gaskits are burnt.

 

timming causes carb backfires
iv had the acell pump gasket leak made fuel so every where um iv put a gasket on wrong and fuel went down my distrib vaccum lines

 

there really aint much that i can do to check the timing now. you know what sucked the most is that when i got the fire extingisher it shot the stuff out for 1 second and stoped and the fire kept going.

 

That stuff is a bitch to get out too! You will be finding that stuff months down the road!

Not that I know or anything!

 

i pulled the carb apart again and everything on there looks good im going to get some carb cleaner and start all over again and see what happens, i tried to do the acc pump mod and i think that i didnt use the right type of material for the gasket maker, i used the green paper kind. im lucky that my wiring harness isnt fired and it was only a few little things!

 

good to hear no major damage! Good luck on your 2nd attempt!

 

holy ****, something was leaking... glad the car didnt burn!! what rebuild kit did you use for the carb?

oh and nice sig

 

im not sure on the brand but it was the one from discount auto. im pretty sure that the leaking was coming from the acc pump when i tried to make new gaskets out of the thick green paper gasket maker!im going to get the rubber compound gasket maker and ty it agian! i was getting scared for a few minutes while i the fire was going bc it was right under my fuel lines i pulled them off and moved them so the fire wouldnt spred to the tank

i been 7less for about 3 months now! well i have one now but she doesnt run!
