My vw trike is running good but I have a question about my beetle. I live in Louisiana which it is very hot now. I went to town yesterday to do some errands. I had stopped one place and when I can back out my car wouldn't start. I had just filled it up with gas. I noticed I couldn't see any gas in the filter. First thing I thought was vapor lock. I checked the carb and it did squirt fuel. I checked the points and they fired with the ignition on. So I kept cranking and it finally started. I got to looking at the metal fuel line and it was in the wrong place. It was between the manifold ( dual port ) and the head. I moved it on top of the manifold and put a piece of rubber fuel line around it. Thought I had it fixed. I went to town this morning and after I stopped I looked at the fuel filter and it was about half full. After it sits for a little while the fuel filter gets almost empty. I pulled the top off the carb and the fuel level is right. It is just that all the fuel in the filter disappears. I don't think it is hot enough to evaporate it. Can it be going back to the tank for some reason. Could the fuel pump have anything to do with it. It is a old pump. Thought maybe the pump is loosing pressure or something. It could have been doing this all the time I don't know but I am pretty sure that's why it wouldn't start yesterday. Any ideas.
