Carburetor problems (I believe)
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2018 2:10 pm
Guys, my name is Dexter Skinner.
I live in the Ormond Beach Florida area. After my car has been sitting for months, this passed weekend I decided to take it (Backdraft Cobra) out for a ride. While I was riding around, my car stalled half a dozen times until it shutoff completely and will not start again (approximately 45 minutes ride).
I was told by a bystander that flames were coming out of the tail pipes for a few seconds before it shutoff. I was able to get it towed home, but since then I'm unable to get it going again.
Is there anyone in the area that could lend a hand in getting this issue resolved?
I have limited knowledge of Carburetor.
I can do basic Mechanical work on my vehicle: brakes, oil change, etc.; however carburetor, no knowledge at all.
Backdraft Racing Cobra #471
Motor: 351 Windsor
Holley Carburetor
Electronic Fuel Pump
I live in Plantation Bay development at 1200 Kilkenny Court Ormond Beach Florida.
I'm available anytime day or night.
I was warned that if I do not know what I'm doing, to leave it alone and to make sure all work is done outside the garage, because of the potential of creating a fire.
I have only been living in the area around two years. Relocated from Midlothian Virginia.
I spend most of my time in Costa Rica during the year and travel back to Florida a few times a year.
Please help me out guys, I'm stuck!
