I have, today, just replaced 4 Weber side draft carbs, because of Ethanol. A Long standing client of mine brought in his streetrod, complaining of backfiring, hard starting. I tore into the carbs....Holy Crap! What a mess....
Luckily I just recieved another set of carbs for another build, that will be awhile, so I switched them out.
These things are totally trashed, so, all you guys with the new carbs and the EFI's....do yourself a favor, every so often, like every other tank at least, drop some of the 'Carb Defender' fuel additive into your tanks. You can get it from Joe Gibbs Racing or select speed shops. The stuff works....
There might be other brands out there that are less expensive, if anyone knows of any, speak up so our guys won't get their stuff trashed by this mess....
Even if you watch and look at stations with non-ethanol fuels....if they use the same tanks, and put new fuel in at the service station, you could possibly get a big gulp of water....
Take care out there guys!
