The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Why does my carb seem to dry out over time?

I've seen it leak from what looks like the bottom, and maybe on the sides, but when I'm pouring a little into the carb, it may have splashed over the side. I'll check it today. Otto, I would certainly consider an electric pump, if it weren't for my vac powered wipers. The dual action pump helps me out with that problem. (although my biggest problem with the wipers usually is keeping the rod from the switch to the motor from falling off at the worst possible moment, like when a sudden hard rain comes up) Thank you for the good advice, guys.
