Hi Malcolm, Steve and Terry
I would agree with Steve, see what happens after the engine is warmed up. My set up only drips when the engine is stopped and is still cold.
I think the difference between mine and Malcolm’s set up v Terry’s is that on ours the float chamber is fixed to the carb body so any spacer only sets the float level correctly for the semi down draft layout. On Terry’s set up I think the float chamber can be adjusted separately from the carb body and his spacer allows a much lower fuel intake to the carb whilst retaining the correct float level at the jet.
Quite why that should help I’m not sure but it seems to work.
Cheers
Howard
