Idiot at the local speed shop got the wrong one in. So I'm going to order one directly from Holley USA. Could be a couple of weeks before I see it. Pony express has got to learn to swim <br /><br />Will let you know when I get it. Thanks for the thought.<br /><br />Chris................

I also sent Edelbrock the pictures that I forwarded you, their response to me was that the only thing needed was a standard square bore divided gasket, if I was having fuel percolation or vapor lock issues to use the 3/8" heat insulating gasket #9266. The Edelbrock technician was Greg Suyenaga at gsuyenaga@edelbrock.com, either way I hope it works out, let me know what happens.<br /><br />Mark

Re: Weber carb on 4.3 LX

Update,<br /><br />Put a heat isolating gasket in today. If the weather does the right thing I'll be testing it on Sunday.<br /><br />Chris............

Chris,<br /><br />Did you have to replace the fuel line or was it long enough??<br /><br />Mark

Re: Weber carb on 4.3 LX

Hi Mark,<br /><br />The gasket is only 1/4" thick so the fuel line remains the same. <br /><br />Now for the bad news. Used the boat on Sunday and the new gasket didn't make the slightest bit of difference! @#$#!%<br /><br />Chris.............

Re: Weber carb on 4.3 LX

Sorry to hear that, I was hoping that would have solved your problem. Have you ever emailed Edelbrock's technical support about this problem, they are usually pretty good at getting back to you quickly??<br /><br />Mark

Re: Weber carb on 4.3 LX

Mark,<br /><br />Went out again last night and the carb was empty on first startup. So the problem hasn't changed a bit.<br /><br />I have e-mailed Edelbrock and yes, they were very quick with a response. Only problem was they told me that what I was seeing couldn't happen. I told them I had the carb in my hand and was watching the fuel drip out and I haven't heard from them since.....<br /><br />Chris.............

Don't kill me guys for digging this one up. But did you (achris) ever find a fix for that carb problem?

ahh... going MPI is the best band aid ever

I was intruiged though by how he said it was dribbleing with the carb off the motor. I've never seen that happen before either.
