the fact that my car was plagued with fuel problems all day long. I was only able to make one full pass down the strip. Unfortunatley I started off in 2nd gear so 85% of the run was in 2nd gear. The car still ran a 9.1 at 76 mph with a 1.8 60ft. :eek2: After that the gremlins really started to go to work. The carburetor started flooding tremendous amounts of fuel out of the vent tubes on several occasions. Anytime the engine was held at any rpm above 3000 for more that a couple of seconds fuel would begin to shoot ot out the front vent tube and into the intake and motor. I was pretty darn sure it was my regulator but some other people seem to think that my front float may have a small hole in it which is causing it to not rise and shut off the flow of fuel into the bowl which in turns floods everything. Anyhow it made for a long day and to make things worse, in the staging lanes as I was trying to start, it backfired and of course fuel went everywhere and the car caught fire. Luckily nothing was seriously damaged except the underside of the hood. The top side of the hood's paint also bubbled from the heat.
All in all, not a good day. The one pass I made did seem promising since I ran the entire run in 2nd. gear. The gears and tires seemed to make a dramatic difference. We'll see in a couple of weeks.
