There, at the base of the Weber 40's, at the base of the passenger side carb throat was wet with gas. Huh? Engine has not run in two weeks.
Photo #1  and > gas found at base of throat at engine head  Close up just as carb throat attaches to engine head  Could it be a drip from above? (after sitting for two weeks??) Versus the Driver side carb which was dry of gas at same location:  and  There's no constant drip, just wetness at the indicated areas that are giving off the fumes that will get me evicted from inside storage. Larger view, thanks Attached image(s)

checked your float settings and needle valves lately?
Dirty needle valve that wont close will just let gas in till it overlflows the bowl... poorly set floats do the same thing, and most floats are wrong that I have seen. Rich |
