Out of Gas
« on: August 26, 2020, 12:38:57 PM »
When I run the Vette every day or even every other day starting is ok - pump 1 time to set choke and it will fire off.  If I let it set for say 3 days it cranks and cranks to fill the carb.  I do not see leaks from the well plugs.  Is it normal for the fuel to evaporate out of the bowl causing you to crank and pump quite a bit??  Thanks.  Jim

Oh wonderful. Because of the alcohol in the gas??  Any workarounds or just that is the way it is??

Electric pump, but I doubt you want to go there.
