Title: Leaking Carburetors Post by: utey on January 29, 2006, 07:10:40 AM Petrol is pouring out of the carburetors, somewhere under the float chamber I think.
Seems ok when running and on tick over but when motor turned off just keeps dripping. Any ideas. Thanks Nick Title: Re: Leaking Carburetors Post by: nicko on January 29, 2006, 07:26:05 AM dry and shrunken gaskets or even as simple as stuck open needle and seats,
