I am honing in on the problem of my Bugeye refusing to run more than a floa=
t bowl worth of fuel at a time.=C2=A0 I have a 1275 punched out to 1330 and=
 fuel it with a single HIF44 S.U. carb.=C2=A0 The problem I am now having i=
s the Facet electric pump running furiously like no fuel is running through=
 it, which it is not.=C2=A0 Tonight I removed the fuel line from the carb e=
nd and stuck it in a jar.=C2=A0 I turned the key to energize the fuel pump =
and it started to cavitate and run furiously as before, but in a few second=
s it bogged down just like it does when the float bowl is full and the jar =
started to fill up!=C2=A0 The float bowl vent is open and the fuel inlet ho=
se is connected to the correct inlet pipe.=C2=A0 I have had this carb apart=
 three times and found no obstructions anywhere.=C2=A0 What could be pluggi=
ng up the float bowl chamber vent stopping gas from entering the carb?=C2=
=A0 As you can see in the picture, the connections are correct as they have=
 been all along. Any ideas?Mike MacLean
