Second brand new Holley carb flooding?
Baffled float bowls? Ever done it A/J? I'm curious. Might come in handy during an autoX.
I threw that comment in there to emphasize the idea. I debated with myself whether or not to leave it in, but I'm glad I did. Until the OP returns and validates(or not) as to his driving style, and the slosh theory, this question was never to come up.Afterall there were 4 better solutions there.
But, no, you, O clever-one, spotted the RedHerring;and almost instantly, I might add.
You can, baffle it, but with street tires,etc this is seldom an issue. IIRC I have seen brown plastic baffles in some Holley somewhere/sometime; 1850s I think. And a metal one in a TQ I think, and I seem to recall one formed from open-cell foam.And then there's the Holley slosh tubes.The Holley 4150s with side hung floats are a good solution, for straightliners.The Qjets bowl is really tiny, but I'm pretty sure I have seen white plastic baffles in there too.Yeah pretty sure.
The slosh can be contained in a jumper tube, as previously posted.But the rich running after-effect can be a significant issue. You will be more clever than I to solve it.
My experience in this is banging through farmers fields, and jumping it off little berms, on my way to the finish line, of a Rally-Cross. Absolutely the number one funnest experiences I have ever had. Who cares about winning (actually I was mere seconds from the trophy)! Who cares about surviving, (at least half of the entrants broke in round one)! Who cares how pretty your car is, or not(mine was easily the prettiest-no contest)!Who cares how quickly the track deteriorates to ruts, bump, and mud,(it just puts more fun into it)!
Naw, it was the thrill of participating! :
And the crowd goes wild,as his car returns to earth, and his oilpan flings up dirt and the clods are catapulted into the stands! And is he on fire?! No!, it's just oil burning off somewhere.What a show,what a thrill, what a time we had!
Meanwhile, back in the pits; Remove the evacuators, check the pan, saddle up it's go-time again. I am thoroughly convinced that I would have taken the trophy home that day, by way of attrition. Just one more round....It was just HIM and me and a couple of sorry looking survivors.
Helabigfun!
I drove 35 minutes there, and I drove 35 minutes back. A couple of days later I brazed up my oilpan,and checked my alignment (it was bang-on), and fabricated a bellypan. Then it was business as usual.
