Have a guy coming to look at the race car tomorrow. So I thought it would be a good idea to start it up. Has been started since late April. Well fuel pressure came up ok. cranked it over and it hit once and that was it. Crank no start. So I pulled a plug. Fuel soaked checked for fire. Got fire. Turned the FP back on and I have fuel running out the transition slots on the primary side. Is this a needle and seat problem or should I be looking for something else. In the past I have had a problem with the o-rings on the needle and seat. But in those instances it would push fuel out the vent tubes. Thanks in advance for your input. Jim

Quick little possible fix.... Just try a couple of good firm raps on the top of the bowls with an end wrench. Often times the floats/ seats get hung up from fuel sitting in them. 10 second check and good chance you will get lucky.

Rubber metering block gaskets, when not sealing properly often had raw fuel running out the transition slots with no other signs of N&S problems. Only worked well on machined main body surfaces.
