Thread: Engine Start

are you people making this up as you go along? What float bowl check valve (needle and seat) is so low it would empty the bowl? and what diaphragm leaks in the motor instead of on the motor? which would be easy to spot from the flames.

What is his timing set at? where is the coil mounted and most important if you wait til it cools down a little more does it start?

Way more common that fuel goes into the motor in my experience. So common that whenever we checked oil in the service stations I worked for, we automatically sniffed the oil on the stick. Probably saved dozens of folks their engines.

As for the rest of the questions.. we're all standing by waiting to ask the O.P. once he has time to investigate and come back with findings. Sometimes it's a slow process as daily life still happens...

sure on AFB style or Quadrajets can leak from plugs into the engine, but they don't have diaphragms they have plungers that can only leak back into the bowls . Do we even know what kind of carb 39 chevy has?
