The list of issues include
Hard restart hot in hot temps
Hard restart cold after sitting more than 3 days
Stumble on accell
Stagnent fuel in secondary bowl
Drip from throttle shafts
Secondary throttle not fully returning
Accel pump issues
Extreme fuel vapor/ fuel smell upon parking in garage
Has anyone had one or more of these? I had experienced 2 of them before retrofit or newer carb. If one performs a web search seems 55 buick and cad owners have similar.
