Question 4

[Marty]

Tilt head right...
If the clean bit is petrol in, what's the pipe to its right?

[paul c]

fuel bypass connection, either connected to the other carb or the fuel return to the tank.

OK Thanks. One reply leads to another question. What do I do with the pipe leaving the left hand carb? The equivalent one to the clean pipe on the right hand carb. (I must remember to take smaller photos)

It's a return to the tank for excess fuel. Helps prevent fuel evaporation.

If you are talking about the plain bit of pipe with no nuts fitted, I think thats just the overflow??

On a v8 it's important to have an overflow, otherwise when the carb floods the fuel will spill over the hot engine and could catch fire. You need to have a tube extending to a cool area.

No sense of fun some people!

Hi Mike,
Running 5.0 litre and twin turbos in a 1950 chassis, I hope you are excluding me from "some people"
