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 |

Hell I would have expected that from an Empi knockoff made in china ,sounds like its a boiling issue as mentioned ,356 porsches were bad for this. Not seen them (isolators ) for sale but not really ever needed them,CB performance or Bugpack,Aircooled.net maybe. Good luck. |
