A while ago I sent and e-mail to the list regarding the trouble i was having
with my car (carburetor). The car didn't idle smooth and only performed well
when I would really get on it. I have a "built" 302 with a Carter Competition
Series carb.
Finally, I took it to a guy who specializes in carburetors. He took the top of
the carb off and it was filled with water - old, black water. He said it had
been in there so long that it was black, and the butterflies were rusty. He
bead-blasted and rebuilt the carb installing new metering rods, butterflies,
and bigger jets as he said the car was running to lean.
To make a long story short, the car is now running great. The obvious
question? The answer is "No." I have absolutely no idea how the water got in
there!
Thanks again for all the support I got from the list. Helpful as always.
