Wondering how to go about trouble shooting this. I have a 650 engine in a car a bought from near sea-level. I've bought it up to 3000ft altitude where I live. I have a hard time believing its just running so rich to be washing down the walls of the cyl to have so much in the sump. Car runs great and doesn't smoke.
I was first thinking the fuel pump must be leaking. Not sure how to check it but was going to remove it to look. Thing is, my pump has a rather large spacer and doesn't appear to be able to come out without removing, or at least moving, the alternator. Is this the case? I should snap a pic...the pump is also not like any ive seen listed as both fuel lines point straight up. Regardless, if I get it off, would I be able to confirm if it leaking or not?
So next its running a Delortto 32/28 carb. I removed this late last night maybe expecting to find a stuck float needle or a cracked float full of gas but neither were true. It's still on my bench and I found the float adjustment specs so I'll confirm that when I get home. Anything else on the carb to check?
Thanks
