I had a similar problem from day one with my RP saloon. I also had fuel starvation issues and ended up having a new fuel pump and the tank cleaned out professionally, which finally sorted the fuel starvation but the carb still dripped.
Like morrisminor, I tried every size of washer supplied with the carb overhaul kit from Burlens when I rebuilt the carb, but the thicker ones only gave me flat spots. I began to think that it was just one of those Austin 7 things.
Then the other day, after I had given it a good service, I noticed that it has stopped doing it. I don't know why, as I have done nothing to the car that would alter it. It must be just one of those Austin 7 things......
