Fuel Return Line

[qmar]

Hey Guys,
Is there anything you can do if you have a fuel return built into the carb but no fuel return built into the car? could you just plug it? or run it back into a Vaccum port...or install a T before or after the fuel pump? i can get the carb for like 60 bucks instead of like $400 CAD so it's definitly worth the trouble. Any ideas?

If it's a fuel return line it should be plumned into the fuel system, if a fuel vapor return line leave it open to the atmosphere, do not plug it. What type of carb and type of car?

I don't know the exact specs cuz the guy i got it from wasn't sure. but it's in good shape and was rebuilt ..then used for 3 days and one run down the strip..then he blew his motor (1.3 L Rotary). i'll see if i can get get some numbers for ya guys

Based on your rough description, that sound like the connection for the PCV valve.
