After my pinto /weber carb'd Hawke has been standing for a few days, it takes an age to start up due to petrol having presumably drained back into the lines / tank.
I know this is a reasonably common prob, but have not found an easy, relatively cheap solution. I have one of those plastic in-line filters near the carb, and it appears almost or completely empty after a week or so. All fuel lines are new, filter is new, no leaks anywhere, so is it draining back, or evaporating? I have considered a couple of ideas, such as a one way (non-return) valve just in front of the filter, also even considered an electric pump rather than mechanical. All that ctranking for ages is doin my battery in, and sounds naff anyway!! Any ideas folks?
PS if ohm's law states I=V/R, how come a 12v battery can supply more than
12 amps when shorted?? 12/0 (assuming no internal resistance)=12.
