Good day to all *smiley*

Today i come accros a small issue i have upgraded my fuel pump and can it be that the old pump was 6v? or have i somehow used an incorrect cable? after a little hot wiring i managed to get the car running (its not been started for at least 5 years! it was running really nice until it stalled, i then took out a spark plug when i noticed fuel was coming out of the cylinder! did i make something wrong with the new fuel pump or can it be something with the carb float?
Any help is greatfully received

Fuel pump should not be an issue,

Assuming the fuel regulator is plumbed and set ok, it sounds like a float valve issue.

Most likely some dirt has stuck the needle valve open.

Unless your replacement pump flows too much for the regulator to handle and the carb is getting a million psi.

What is the fuel pressure set to at the regulator?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Many thanks for the replys, will take out the carb and measure the preasure from the regulator...normally what ever is going wrong must be easy to find as never did i see a cylinder full of fuel...

Did you empty the carb before you stored the car? if not as mentioned above you will have a poorly seating float valve due to residue left behind.
