Re: Launch help!!!
If all you changed was the torque converter, then I would suggest putting your old converter back in and see if your problem goes away .

Re: Launch help!!!
Yes, odds are there is fuel splashing out of the float bowl through the vent, or where the secondary metering rods are.
There is a baffle found on late model carburetors that may help. It is held on by the two screws on the air horn directly behind the choke tower.
