Carb Help
Hey y'all so I'm having some carb issues. Essentially I can run the cub for about 2 minutes after letting the fuel go to the carb for 2 minutes and then it dies. I've got fuel free flowing to the carb, but when I open the plug in the front bottom very little or nothing comes out unless the gas has been turned on for a while. What would cause this? I removed the screen at the inlet because I have an inline fuel filter.

For how long? Let it run 2-3 minutes and see what happens.

Re: Carb Help
Is the inline fuel filter designed for gravity feed systems and not fuel pump systems?

Uploading a video to post for yall to see. I am not sure what the fuel filter was made for I already threw away the package, but its got a good constant flow and ive never even seen the bowl on it loose fuel.

Re: Carb Help
Disconnect fuel line from carb. Let fuel drain through the filter into a container for 3 or 4 minutes. Quart of fuel, give or take, then the problem is in the carb.
Obtain a gravity flow fuel filter, for 1/4" hose.

I have an excuse. CRS.

Re: Carb Help
I’ll probably get some blowback here, but…
If you really want to try a new carb, I don’t think you can beat this one.

The choke lever, alone, is worth nearly the cost of the carb. There are some caveats, however. Read through these articles before ordering.

Re: Carb Help
My original Cub carbs had so many hammer marks on them and stripped fuel inlets, Last year I broke down and bought a Kipa carb off Amazon and installed it on my 1952 Cub slight tweak on the idle mixture and it's been great, I bought another one for my 68 Lo-Boy and am planning on replacing the Bendix / Zenith carb soon I think the composite float is getting heavy with the new fuel. I would like to rebuild the IH carbs I have at Cecil's Cubfest but I've got to say these Kipa's work great. TJ

Re: Carb Help
Thank you gentlemen these are just the kind of answers I was looking for. I ran the cub for about an hour tonight I ended up just opening the float all of the way and she stayed running but of course when off the carb flooded! Starting to sound a whole lot better after running it for awhile!
