Hi all...
Last fall I bought and installed new made in Spain Weber 44's. I have driven maybe 50 miles since installation. Today after I drive I smelled and noticed a fuel leak. Fuel was dripping off the accelerator pump adjustment rod under the diaphram housing. It was not coming from the housing itself but from under it, in the middle of the 2 barrels . It was a pretty good drip that started several minutes after shutting off the engine. It does not appear to leak with the engine running. All I've done recently is installed larger idle jets and installed the rotary fuel pump from CB Performance. Any and all help and advice appreciated. Thanks. Mike |

boiling can happen.
Do you have phenolic spacers between the heads and intake manifold or the manifolds and carbs? You need some sort of thermal break there and they may not have come wth your kit. they are black and look like plastic, are about 1/8 inch thick. Rich |

They are 2 to 3 mm thick. Is this adequate? Much more the that and I'll need to change the studs on the intake manifold. Thanks |
