Title: 83 AMC Eagle return fuel check valve replacement.
Post by: The OLD Man on July 03, 2024, 02:11:19 PM
I was able to purchase a 4an size fuel return check valve from Improved Racing to replace one hidden in hose. The valve has a .04 crack pressure. Seems to be working fine. Can be ordered with barbed fittings.

Can I ask what problems this eliminates? I read earlier today the return line can siphon the carb while sitting? Can it interfere while driving? Say up a steep grade for example?

Not to my knowledge, but I've got a different carburetor. I got rid of the fuel line check valve and the line won't siphon the carb dry even after a week of sitting. My car is wheeled on steep grades and driven up steep hills on the road, completely fine.
