I should probably post this in a different section but anyways I need some help figuring out a carb.The car is a 81 Accord and the fuel pump died the other day so I went and got another as it was only 10 months old and under warranty.The pump im using is a Mr Gasket micro pump intented for import carb setups as its low pressure[2-3.5psi 42gph] and worked well for a 10months daily driving.When i went to get a replacement they only had the domestic model in stock[5-7psi 37gph] so I took that and a MR gasket pressure regulator to turn it down.That pump was defective and lasted 20 minutes.I then ordered the right one that I had been running for 10 months and put it in tonight minus regulator as i dont need it now.When you turn the key on the pump fires up and sits there filling the carb up until it pukes out all over the engine What the ---- causes that other then way to much volume or something?Im kinda lost i dont know much about carbs and im assuming either the pump is somehow sending way to much fuel or something has ruptured in the carb?

Edit- I think the float is stuck.

 

too much pressure, will do this. think of why people need boost modded carbs for blow-thru

edit: just saw my sig. what the ---- happened? why did it go back to the binder?

 

needle and seat is not sealing, too much fuel pressure, float has a leak and is filled with gas(no longer floating) or float level too high. Get a cheap *** carb kit it will come with everything for a rebuild and all the specs and adjustments

 

Well i called my Chevy buddy[muscle car guy] and he says the same so im going to open it up in the morning and give it a go.He said to get a carb kit and it will have directions as i suck at the carb thing.

Edit- He siad the same thing as Highroller.Lol

 

make sure you can get a kit for that bitch before you rip it down, some older hondas are hard to find, blow all the ports out real good when you clean the bowl. Get the carb numbers before you try and get a kit.

 

you should be aware that carb kits usually do not come with floats. :1 :1 :1

 

99% of the time there not needed

 

Ha ha my buddy said the same thing It looks like a Holley 2 barrell but im gonna go hit the parts stores in the morning and see what it available.It has the float bowl i believe its called as a square box sitting on one side which is i guess just like a Holley.For such a simple crude thing carbs are a real bitch :P

 

he is very smart, lol :P

 

whats the bitch? a flat bit screwdriver, a pair of needlenose, a big crecent wrench, and something for scraping gasket is all you need to rebuild pretty much any holley.
