Re: Weber carb adjustment

[Antonio Rosciglione <ajr666@domain.elided>]

Graham,

The key may lie in the fact that the car was previously fuel injected. 
The Spica injected car requires something like 60psi of fuel pressure 
and has a high pressure pump located near the fuel tank/spare tire well 
under the car.  Carburetted cars only require something like 4-10psi.

1.  During the conversion was a pressure regulator added? and/or was the 
high pressure fuel pump changed to a low pressure unit?
2.  The floats inside the carbs are somehow either set wrong are being 
overcome by the high pressure delivery of fuel.

I would first check the fuel pump (replace with low pressure pump) then 
adjust the floats inside the carbs. This should take care of the problem.

Good Luck,
Antonio
