Hey all.
I came across a problem today and that would be that my carb. leaks like a sieve! And I am at a lost on this one
Some background. The carb. In question is on my 61 Chevy c-10 stock motor and brand new carb. (Rebuilt single barrel rochester) and new fuel pump(manual with electric wipers) I also have it running on a external fuel tank(small 1gal. Container with a fuel hose and filter running to the pump)
The problem, after starting up the truck the carb starts to leak from around the throttle linkage(and not a small drip or too, it's a fast leak!) so my thoughts are that it's getting to much fuel in the cup and over flowing? Is that possible? If I shut off the fuel the engine keeps running( I am guessing from the fuel in the lines/ carb. Cup) engine runs, starts to run faster then begins to die so I turn the fuel back on and the leak starts again.
Any help on this would be really really great! I can post a video if that helps too
Thanks again
-Tim
