Boiling Fuel & Carb Spacers etc.
I think I finally have the carbs dialed in with the hopefully proper jets etc. However, after a good RPM test I find that the engine does not want to start after I shut everything down. If I wait a few minutes it fires right up. I was talking to Jay Nordstrom last night who suggested I was boiling the fuel and the cure would be to put a spacer between the carbs and the manifold. I have the spacers and can do this if I take the short metal velocity stacks off each carb and let the filters rest directly on the carbs.
Clearance becomes a problem if I leave the stacks on and use the spacers. Any thoughts or suggestions on this?
