Had an incident last weekend where a carb or carbs were starved of fuel and then car suddenly picked up and and has been fine since. Just left a show and car was going like a rocket suddenly at a steady 50mph started running flat and sounded like it’s on one carb and then engine died. Left it for a couple of minutes and was fine for a short distance and then died again.
I initially thought it was a damper sticking but a tap of hammer made no difference.
let car cool for 15 mins and drove perfectly and then steady 30mph started again playing up. 6 stops on way home and car seems fine.
My thoughts are either fuel pump being hot and playing up or float cup off starving a carb of fuel.
There’s never a lot if fuel in the filter and t was very hot.
Just got home and pump feels very hot and so do we both LOL
Before ordering more parts would you agree best bet is a new pump and a couple of Viton cut off valves?
