    I snarfed my coffee just a wee bit this morning when I awoke to this video since I almost called you yesterday about my own Autolite 4100 carbur-tater problem. Like yours it runs way too nicely to be most of the major stuff, but it likes to spontaneously overfill the back bowl if I happen to over-enthusiastically enter my driveway, which means it then proceeds to trickle/pour gasoline onto the secondary throttle plates. Having checked and rechecked float level, wet, with the engine running, it’s something I’m still worrying through. Sometimes that’s just what you gotta do!

    Greetings! I think I remember you saying that you thought you had a 390GT. All the "S" code 390 engines came from the factory with a 1/4" Phenolic spacer. The original carb was usually a Holley 4150. I think such a spacer would really help. BTW thanks for the great video on the F100 Mirrors! I was able to get the parts you suggested and the job went smoothly. Thanks for all the great videos. You guys rock!

    If I don't use a spacer due to clearance issues, I like to use the 3/8 thick flange gasket to insulate the carb a little. I remember International Harvester used a thick gasket that extended out just past the fuel bowl that was supposed to keep the fuel in the bowls cooler.

  • @TheKeymaster316

    Definitely would like to see the result of the phenolic spacer. I have a 77 F150 with the 460 and have been dealing with this issue since getting the truck back on the road in 2018. I always have to give a couple of pumps as least for the truck to start. Of course, it's always worse in the summer and after driving it for more than 30 minutes, stopping and then restarting, I usually have to pump it a lot to get it restarted due to the gas boiling out of the carb. I can't run a phenolic spacer right now because I still have the original spreadbore manifold that the Motorcraft 4350 used to reside on. I now run a Holley with an aluminum, spreadbore to standard bore spacer under it. I bought a phenolic spacer to try to fix my issue but the carb ended up sitting so high, the kickdown for the transmission wouldn't line up. Luckily, this isn't my daily driver so I tend to just deal with it best I can. But I'd like to upgrade to an aluminum intake down the road and then I could use the phenolic spacer instead of the aluminum adapter. I enjoy ya'lls videos, thanks.

  • @brianhigginbotham4489
    @brianhigginbotham4489 3 роки тому

    Just thinking out loud - I’m thinking you may have a tank full of winter blend fuel in the truck, winter blend is a “lighter” blend than summer gas as it has quite a bit more butane in it which will tend to boil up quite a bit quicker than summer blend now that temps have come up some. Springtime & fall wit ill usually show it up the best especially on older carbed autos. A quick remedy you might try is to “heavy” it up with a touch of fuel stabilizer to get you over the hump till summer blend is out. Best of luck & as always great videos !

    Boiling point of gasoline varies with seasonal change, winter forumalitions have a lower point than do summer fuels. Change over varies depending on region. Seems no matter what season, after a week or so of setting, bowls in my stuff are mostly dry.
    My old 428 has always been hell on plugs(we been together 48 years), a Pertronix conversion didn't give much improvement. Somewhere around 20 years ago, I added a Crane Hi-6 ign(their version of MSD 6AL, now discontinued?). It's triggered by the Pertronix. Opened plug gap to .045 and it still runs the same 20+ year old plugs that were in it when I installed the Hi-6. Assumin' there gas in carb bowl, starts easily. NOTE These ign systems will burn up the orig type graphite wires. To retain the OEM look, I now use the Pertronix Flame Thrower, 7mm spiral core wires.

  • @waynep343
    @waynep343 3 роки тому +1

    JEFF and KAM. I have been FIXING THIS issue since 1983.. the fix is a 10 micron fuel filter before the mechanical fuel pump.. disconnecting the fuel line to the carb.. extending the fuel line into a clean clear soda bottle. disconnect the power to the ignition coil.. get somebody to crank the engine for 15 seconds while you watch the pulses into the bottle.. you should have equal pulses.. do this 3 times.. each time for 15 seconds.. hook the hose back to the carb and you are fixed..
    WHY.. sediment in the fuel pump check valves reduces the suction from the tank and the pressure held in the fuel line to the carb.. it also gets into the needle and seat in the carb.. what happens.. when you shut off.. your needle and seat is leaking and overflowing the bowl and fuel is dripping out of the booster venturi's. causing the carb to flood the cylinders.. but eventually the fuel in the line is exhausted and whats left turns to vapor and vapor starts pouring out of the carb.. down at the fuel pump the partially open check valves allow gravity to allow fuel to drain back to the tank.. taking some out of the float bowls as the needle and seat level is below the normal fuel level..
    the 10 micron filter before the pump works with flushing the pump with filtered fuel..
    don't believe me.. pull the fuel line off the carb.. and try blowing into it.. you should NOT be able to blow bubbles in the fuel tank.. still don't believe me.. extend the fuel line with some clear vinyl hose and hang it over the hood latch.. crank the engine with the coil power disconnected until you get fuel in the clear hose.. notice how long it takes to get fuel from the tank and thru the pump into the hose when you have fuel in the hose stop cranking.. watch the fuel vanish backward thru the fuel pump as the check valves are now partially open..
    i use either a 1984 corvette fuel filter as it has 3/8 inlet and out let or a 1994 ford probe fuel filter as it has 5/16 inlet and outlets and those are both 10 micron rated filters. it is the only fix and i have been fixing cars for a living since 1979.. after a year of automotive trade school.. not just a guy with a bucket of tools..
    there are other issues the 10 micron fuel filter fixes.. Hot vapor lock coming to a stop or idling in heavy traffic.. the engine will start to run rough then stall and won't crank .. this is the fuel in the pump and the line to the pump not having enough pressure to stop from boiling and turning to vapor the liquid fuel is pushed back to the tank thru the partially open check valves in the fuel pump .. the engine running on vapors leans out. the pistons and rings expand beyond normal and grip tight in the cylinder walls preventing the starter from being able to spin the crank.. this is why after 10 minutes the engine can be cranked but it takes a while of cranking to get the fuel from the tank.

    Ever sent your oil sample to a company like Blackstone and have them do an oil test. The report will till wear pattern and how the engine is burning fuel.

    Wow fuel boil at 40 degree day. Lucky it's not Australia, still 90 of your f's here. Has the intake gasket moved or blown through into the intake??? 🤔

      No the intake is solid. And it runs too good for me to think carb issues.

    This is very, very similar to the issues I am seeing with a 62 283 with a Rochester 2 gc (all stock, cast iron) even down to the substance around the spark plugs. However, I have been running ethanol free fuel. I also have the phenolic spacer that I am planning on installing. I'd really be interested in seeing the resolution to this.

      My 67 327 has the same issue. Only thing that will help engines like ours out is to plug the exhaust port for the choke. Between the heads and intake. And remove the exhaust heat rise valve on the passenger side. I switched to old c4b edlebrock intake and switched to electronic choke. Hope this helps.

      @@ivanbadillo4909 Thank you , Ivan. I am running stock 265 exhaust manifolds. The exhaust valve has been removed and replaced with a spacer. When I replaced the manifold, I didn't block off the exhaust that runs under the carb. The carb I have is actually a Rochester 2g, so it has the manual choke wired open, because the car will not start with any amount of choke applied at this point. I misspoke above when I said Rochester 2gc.

      I feel pretty sure that the issue is heat related. While we were messing around with it after shooting the bowl temp was 210 on one corner, making me think that is causing the vapors...

      If you want the content you have to have the advertising. This is how I make my living. I'm sure you wouldn't want someone to come in and tell you that the amount of whatever you have going on with the background in your shop is distracting and you need to stop it.
