There is an occasional petrol drip from the throttle spindle on the carb directly onto the intake manifold below. This seems to occur only when the engine has stopped and still hot.
I did have a significant problem with a large quantity of petrol discharging over the manifold the moment the engine stopped. (From the overflow on top of the carb) I had fitted a new float valve. Refitting the original cured the problem. But left with this small drip
Not sure how the petrol can get to this point and wondering how I might effect a cure. Thinking I will have to refinish and reseat the butterfly bearings?
