nissan720 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 What causes condensation at base of the carb.I noticed it when i let the engine get warm for about ten minutes.I have a weber 32/36 progressive carb on it.I also have a custom plate made to swith it from fuel injection.It has a ka24e engine.Could this be a vacuum leak? I sprayed carb spray at the base of the carb and the engine sound nor RPMs changed.?? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 This is completely normal and in the winter can form frost. Gasoline won't burn until it evaporates and mixes with the air. This is an endothermic reaction and absorbs heat energy in order to evaporate. Like putting alcohol on your skin and blowing on it and feeling it cool. Intake manifold air will be cooler than the air outside, the manifold or base of the carburetor will also be cooler and like a cold beer glass, moisture in the air will collect in droplets on it.

datzenmike Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Change the fuel filter. It's cheap and easy and if it doesn't help you won't have to change it again for 3 years. Quote Link to comment

nissan720 Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Changed the fuel filter. No change in the way of performance. Still chasing this gremlin! Quote Link to comment

OK. when you accelerate up to cruising speed is the pedal right to the floor? or just enough to get there??? Quote Link to comment
nissan720 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Okay it accelerates through the gears fine. When I get to cruising speed around 60 it starts to miss. I have to push the pedal almost to the floor to keep it going Quote Link to comment

When going through the gears do you put the gas pedal to the floor or not. Or are you not in a hurry and just driving up to 60? Quote Link to comment
nissan720 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 No not putting gas pedal to the floor while going through the gears. Just only once I get to cruising speed I put the pedal to the floor to keep the truck from cutting off Quote Link to comment
