260z flat top carb question


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I recently picked up a 260z that sat around for over a decade.  I cleaned out the the gas tank and fuel lines, replaced the fuel pump, and did all the other "tune up" things.  I don't know much about carbs in general, and even less about this style of carb.  I've got fuel running into the carbarator, and it's spaying out of the needle circled in the picture and into the engine compartment.   I'm not even sure what to ask here, is fuel supposed to spray out of that, and if so, what is supposed to keep it from spilling into the engine compartment?

Cleaning the carbs and needle seat assembly.

 

"Rebuilding" is an overused misapplied tube. New gaskets don't do much if stuff is plugged with sludge.

 

Be very meticulous in your cleaning and inspection of diaphragms.

 

Good luck finding a good overhaul kit.
