Hey all,
a few days ago I received my 3310-3 which I bought over E-bay. I took a look at it and when I moved the secondary flaps there was water bubbling out of the small hole ABOVE the throttle blades of the secondaries (near the boosters). WTF?! :mad: Seemed like the diaphragm was pushing water out of the vacuum channel (?). I have checked the fuel bowls and they are bone dry. I also tried to light up the fluid on a knife (didn't want to try that on the carb ) and it did NOT light up. Also it did not smell like fuel.
The seller says it was removed from a 440 Mopar about two months ago. So it wasn't standing very long. He also did not wash it with water and the box was ok when I received it. The carb itself looks ok.
Do you think the water did any harm? Any other advices before I try it out? Anything to check? It's dry now but how the heck did water get in there?
Thanks,
Olli
