That was a lil harsh. I wont get another one, thats all. I learned the hard way. I have done nothing but fight this this all last year. And now I am done fighting it. I will use the parts I can. Was told mine is doing this because of the coating ](*,)

That ain't good !! Since we converted about the same time you got my attention. After looking at mine I don't have any concerns. I have to ask - who's alcohol carb was it?? Is it a conversion ?? Who's alcohol do you run ?? Do you use top lube ?? My APD looks like I just put it on.

its a pro systems. no it wasnt a conversion, it was built just for me and my application. i used VP all last year, found a chemical place where i can get it cheaper if i buy 2 drums at a time so i am going that route this year

right now i put a buddies carb on and am talking the car to a carb builder tomorrow to tune it, then off for some TNT. I am going to show him my PS carb and see if he can fix it. As it is right now after cleaning the old carb my car still wont run so im not sure if it is done or fixable.

I think I would have to have a chat with Pro Systems, I was advised not to buy one from them but use APD or Rupert.
I don't know if you can save that carb. I have been buying my fuel from Finish Line Racing at $115 a barrel last year
