Getting some sort of pressure build, seems to be on number 3. Sometimes gets to the point where the starter wont turn the engine. I can just a bout get it turned over by hand but its really tight, you can hear the air and fuel pushing through louder than usual. I can generally start it after that but it will stink of fuel and be very rough for 30 seconds or so and then it clears and runs fine, but eventually I will have the same issue again. Its got a nasty Empi 34 pict 3 carb on it, which yesterday had fuel dripping from the throttle arm spindle, not sure if its related.
Ive not had the car long, and was told its had a rebuilt 1600cc in it a some point (no engine number on the case), but it has had a full flow oil with external filter system put in but otherwise it appears stock, not sure why someone would full flow a stock engine though?
So far Ive checked valve clearances, done a full service and tune up including oil and external oil filter change. Runs great, really nicely until this happens. I was actually surprised how nicely it goes with that carb on.
Any ideas?
