new carburator burping

[fomocoloco]

For years, my 36 has burped gas. I've replaced the carb with a new 97. had skip do the dist. and coil. Using a IH 200 condenser from NAPA.
The engine is 2 years old. Still burps and smells like gas. Runs great 90% of the time.

Sounds like it might need some Tums. Seriously, what does "burping" mean?

Engine misses, tries to stall,and leaks gas.

Don't mess with the distributor. If Skip did it it's right on time. These distributors are not set with a feeler gauge. To set them up like the Ford factory and Ford rebuilders you need the Ford~Heyer strobe machine which Skip uses. Each point is set to a dwell percentage, then the total dwell between the 2 sets must fall within a tight range. Sounds like you have a fuel problem. Send your carb to Uncle Max. G.M.

Where is the gas leaking from?

Check fuel pressure from fuel pump to carb and let us know what you have.

That should be good.
Is this a new English built 97? I'm guessing but maybe the needle valve or grose jet is not shutting the gas supply off or the power valve could be leaking.

If it did it before you replaced the carb, could it be an intake valve adjustment too tight?

The fuel must be filtered as well as at low pressure. The inlet valve will not withstand dirty gasolene.

I don't understand why you would question the new carburetor itself as you have said it had the symptoms on the previous carburetor. Could it be an issue with heat boiling the fuel in the carburetor ? Check or change to another intake or add a phenolic spacer under carb. Issues I had with carburetors was solved with Uncle Max and a new Stromberg not continuing,reason I am posting.
