rsorg Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 sorry about that 454 original air cleaner , wide mouth snorkel ,how hard would it be to replace the charcoal in the canister , that helps with venting ,or do i have other issues ,never has done that before ,thanks roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Sometimes there is pressure coming back up out of the carb which sprays the fuel upward. Is the bottom of the lid sticky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsorg Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 thank you for the reply i have not checked the underside of the lid ,if it is sticky what do you think the cause could be, i have everything hook up like factory and most is original ,i would like to look into my canister that would hold the charcoal i know that, that has never been looked into ,i do notice that the engine has to turn over more times to have the car start , while i pump the gas peddle 2/3 times ,thank you roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Sounds more like carb issues. A good internal cleaning may be needed. Not a rebuild per say. A real good in tank cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 And a possible filter change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Mine is better after carb rebuild but still sprays fuel up when I open the secondaries which is due to issues with the engine valves at higher rpm. It is a common issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
