hey guys
after two days of frustration trying to figure out what is causing my engine to burp out water i think i may have found the problem. still having problems today i was ready to drive the car off the harbor bridge when a friend dropped in and suggested i check for a vacuum leak. i'd checked all of the hoses and found nothing lose and there was no noise or miss in the engine at idle. squirted carb cleaner around the base of the carb and found a huge leak at the back of the carb. turns out that the special order gasket from hi-lo left about an 1/8 inch gap at the back of the carb. gonna replace it with the CORRECT gasket tomorrow and see what happens. there was a tremendous gain in rpm when i sprayed the cleaner around the base of the carb. if this solves my problem, then i guess i won't have to take a dive off of the bridge. i'll report in later.
