Fuel Bubbling
On top of the carb towards the front there is a hole on either side and inbetween these holes some sort of release valve next to one of the jets, when the cars running it runs fine on idle, as the car wams up theses two holes fill up with fuel and i also noticed the fuel at this point was bubbling within the carb chambers and carries on filling and eventually fuels starts flowing over the top of the carb when i saw this i turned the ignition off. Once i had turned the ignition off i noticed what appeared to be steam being released from the valve next to the jet in between the two holes i mentioned earlier.
I also noticed there was a leak on the pipe from the fuel pump since then i have replaced this.
When i removed the pipe with leak i noticed that fuel was also bubbling inside the tube of the fuel pump. I sent back the carb he opened and inspected it and said that it was all clean and appeared to be fully working. I have also replaced all fuel lines in the engine bay and bought a brand new fuel pump today which i will be putting on later to eliminate this as a cause.
Any further advice would be greatly appreciated as i have been getting help from Peddersgolf and this is something he has never come across with any carb blocks before
Cheers
Carl
