Re: Advice needed for hard starting Dual AFBs and 745 lockdown

[Dave Orr <fe2orr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the same problem with my 426 wedge, after sitting the-fuel drains back to the tank and I have to put fuel in carb and it starts right up. Always had to pump a little but now never like this. Why does the fuel drain out of the line and filter?
