So I had some time to tackle the cars "running like sh*t" issues yesterday...
Drove up to Advance and bought a new fuel filter. I figured what the hell for $4... Well what do you know, the car instantly ran better... But yesterday only after a short drive I attempted to restart the car and it seemed very difficult for a vehicle that was running just an hour ago... The same "longer start" happened after parking the car and leaving it for an hour to eat dinner...
Cut to today... On my way to work, I stopped for for lunch, about a 5 min trip. 5 Minutes later got back in the car and it did nothing but crank... It took about 5 more minutes until I got it to sputter to life.
Just an hour ago I made two short stops and everything was fine. It started as normal.
Is vapor lock a possibility?
I made adjustments to the carb to attempt to correct the "running like sh*t" issue... Could changing the filter cause the adjustments I made to be "over-kill" and running too rich? I played with the floats in the past and the acc pump... I know the acc pump shoudn't have anything to do with it. Perhaps I adjusted the floats "to much"...
Could mis-adjusted floats cause an engine to run rich?
Grateful for ANY help...
