The carb suppliers “believe” the floats are set correctly- did they set them? They are either correct or they are not.
Link to pressure dump thread-
As stated check the timing with the engine at say 3,000rpm when the timing should have advanced fully set at 35 degrees.

GT40 on fire or how to prevent
Hello all, last weekend a GT40 burned down not far away from me. According to the news nobody was hurt but the 40 is a total loss (see pics). https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=3891833407595056&set=gm.4864988053517037 I did not know the car / owner - anyway I'm sorry for your loss. I can...

With the same IDA set up on our GT, it is our practice to shut off the fuel pump a quarter mile or so before reaching our destination to reduce the amount of fuel in the carbs thus reducing the amount of fuel dripping into the manifold. At a minimum let the GT idle a bit after turning of the fuel pump. This is a well known issue with Webers.
Hi Frank, no email as of yet, I've checked all my folders.
Thanks
Thanks Mike,
The floats were set by them at the time of the kit assembly which included inlet manifold and linkage. If they were set wet or dry I do not know.
Thanks for the link and I will set the timing as recommended
Thanks Chuck, that is a great tip.
I just need it to behave itself for the IVA test next Wednesday and then I can do as you suggested when I use the car after that.
I really don't know how much idling and sitting around with the rear clip down the car will do during the IVA test which is what is worrying me.
Thanks
38 all in at 4000rpm.
So if you can recurve the dizzy, 14 initial + 24 mechanical makes 38.
If you'r running a hot cam, don't start mechanical advance below 1200rpm cause it might create a jumping idle..

Tom, I am on [email protected] but initial conversation would be better for me om 01323 843839
My 331 (10.5:1) with Dart Pro1 Heads and Inglese Cam with 48 IDAs would do 32 for peak HP/TQ on the dyno before it started dropping off. I think we ended up at 31 degrees which gave a little more room before detonation and was still super crisp throttle response.
I think the cylinder head design and compression has more to do with the amount of advance an engine likes.
