Thanks I’ll check it out.redcars wrote:Above the rear axle there is a vent valve that gets plugged up over time. It can be cleaned so as to let the tank vent.

Re: Engine Knock
Going to start reassembling my engine this week. I was able to get another block with good crank, rods and pistons. New bearings, gaskets and rings came in today.

Re: Engine Knock
You mentioned gas blowing by the needle valve. check your fuel pump pressure; if too high could cause your gas problem.. should be between 2-4 psi.
also, for kicks: check/adjust your carb float.. If you don't know age of carb; might as well rebuild with all the other work you are doing.
