Race somewhere this weekend so you can at least find out if you found the problem. Long off season not knowing. Would not be fun to find out on opening day next year that the problem is still there. If you don’t race anymore this year I would change all the fuel lines with new ones before opening day next year unless your going to have a new car. Lol. Good luck Tim.
That fitting that was loose is not your fuel issue . It is a problem but it won’t suck air there because that is a bulkhead fitting so only can suck air on the 90’s
The spring on the fuel filter should be to the solid end of the filter and to the back of the car. (Fuel tank side). Having that in backwards can definitely cause you some problems!
Fuel filer being backwards will cause the problem you are having. Fought the same issue for weeks after changing everything in the fuel system, changed the filter at the track on night and fixed the problem. Car would basically die coming off the corner.
Running the fuel filter backwards can definitely cause fuel problems. When Its installed incorrectly it blocks the fuel completely off. If you have it reversed with no spring it can slide back and forth turning fuel flow off then back on. If I remember correctly with the paper filters the spring pushes the filter too the front. This allows fuel to freely enter the log but with the end being closed it has no choice but to then be pulled through the filter element.
I'll built the motor one time for my mod I was 19 years old and felt comfortable doing it, it would pop and bang when I got on it really hard.I changed MSD box distributor ignition plugs wires. Old man come up to my Pitt tell me to start my car he listened to it for about a minute. Told me I had an intake leak, pull the intake put new gaskets back on it ran perfect.
Hey Tim change the fuel line that going from the fitting that you found lose the rubber hose could be clasping some where throw. An take an extra fuel pump.
Grab a ultrasonic cleaner take bowels off carby and clean all of it. Turn base upside down check WOT with calipers. Fuel log still too close to hot rockers. Cooking that fuel! Thank me later lol.
Or the fuel filter is in need of being changed. Since it is plugged up. Now I will add that I readied an article in Stock Cars magazine. In which they interviewed Bloomquist, and he recommended too take the either fuel line out from the fuel cell, too the carburetor and check for blockage from anything from bolts, too tiny pieces of debris from the inside of the fuel line coming apart. Which he also went on too say is if your fuel lines are more than a season old. It is a good idea too replace the either line from the fuel cell too the carburetor. That isn't metal of course.

Howdy
Yo
Idea for an upcoming off season video. Go in depth of the process for making "racing" RUclips video. From equipment, settings to editing etc.

Glad to see you found the problem. I know how it is from experience. We’ve been trying to fix our stuff
i would pull the float bowls off and check them for debri. just my thought #SmashNashRacing
10-4. We will freshen both carbs this winter
I have a question is there a certain way to grind your tires based on which side they are on?
More of a different style between the fronts and rears

Roger that!
Oops, fuel filter in backwards for sure.
Sounds like it was in backwards

I would say it was filter and lose on the tank. I have has that problem a few time a
Gotcha!

Yes sir!
Glad u found the problem 👍🏁🇺🇲
Good luck
Hole on end of filter goes toward moter! spring on fuel tank side. If backwards fuel can't get by closed end of filter fast enough.
Are you going to race at Popular Bluff this weekend?
Yes
@@OldNo7Garage can’t wait to see you there. my brother in law Nathen Jones races it’s his first year number eight car
Cool!!
Long drive for you but you could check out tri state in Oklahoma on the 29th.
Be nice to race 1 more weekend, just to make sure, the fuel problem is fixed.
I agree!

10-4
Sounds like wasn't getting enough fuel
Right!
Tim have you ever raced any tracks in Kentucky?
No but my dad race KY Lake speedway back in early 2000’s
It don't sound like the carburetor
I’m not sure what it was but we fixed it!

Maaaaan I can't believe ol Nate went there!! I need that there carb on the flat head motor.
Lol
Can you please do a couple of go cart races at old no.7 speedway
For sure!
The filter backwards will cause pressure problems.
Brings parts for
Back up or you will never know what was broken
Tim please cover the top of that carb. That makes me cringe.
We like Livin on the edge.... lol seriously though, we were careful. That’s the pity of working on 2 at once, only had one carb hat lol
Paper filters break down and only recommended if changed offen. Metal ones are the best.
Yep agreed
Time for a change of luck.
Just buy and MBCustom and all your troubles will go away 🤷♂️
I’ve heard that!!
