Hi guys,
I think I may have some progress.
Most reports I see is when people rebuild the carb with a new gasket set. So did I.
I noticed the drain does not only happen after a test drive when I shut down the engine, but also during driving actually. During a test drive, I stopped and checked the (closed) secondary throttle and saw fuel collecting there while the engine was still running idle.
As said, I have a dual carb and had fuel draining in both. So I removed the cover of the 'Idle Compensator' and replaced the gasket by the original one, and made sure the screws are really, really tight.
And that actually did it for me, in both carbs.
I did several testdrives, while stopping and checking, and also after shutting the down the engine, and I don't see fuel anymore on the secondary throttle and the fuel level stays high.
It would be helpful if someone could confirm this:
- when fuel drains from the bowl, you see it drip onto the secondary throttle valve
- you carb has an Idle Compensator at the back
- the gasket for the Idle Compensator was replaced by new from the gasket kit.
- tightening the screws actually helps
Thanks!
