Strong petrol smell

[SalemRover]

Thanks for the link-I'm now thinking that a re-jetted Rochester might be a better choice than the Weber however no one mentioned the unspent fuel issue-or a strong petrol smell in relation to the Weber.

I look forward to your post about spent fuel after you get the rochester installed. All kidding aside they all have their pros and cons.

Good Luck!

More than likely its your timing.

I worked on my timing last night, I'm confident that is the source of my gas smell, dieseling and hesitation at full throttle... I'm just not sure how to fix it. Even with the timing light, I must be doing something wrong...not to hijack the thread though

Wander, have you checked your timing to see if you can get it to run without the choke out (at warm temps)? Any improvement?

I won't have a chance to work on it until this weekend Nick. The timing is the first thing I'll do as it might be an easy solution (like that ever happens).

What about the jet? The info in the other thread about ratios and jet adjustments which indicates the Weber is often under jetted for Rovers. I have no clue if mine has been changed or not as a PO did the work and I can't get in touch with him.
