We timed it using the "total timing" method and it runs fine when it is used regular but when it just does the car shows I get the dry bowls. No misses, no pops, no bogs, it runs perfect except for this little punishment when I leave it in the garage to long. The car is assembly line correct and I don't want to deviate from that. I suppose I could fill it from the vent tubes before firing it up when it is dry, but I would like to know how it is blowing flame back into the float area. I'm glad it is not just me experiencing this. I will take some pictures tomorrow and post them so you can understand the issue. I don't take tools on trips and I prefer to not start.
