Rogerck Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 On post #20 I noted a small amount of fuel accumulating in the drip tray. Although small, the problem has been daunting and I appreciate all your suggestions. The problem has been resolved and it turns out the solution was incredibly simple. The clamp on the carburetor to manifold boot needed to be snugged up. The boot was replaced during the five year rubber change. Roger Kuhn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtoeat Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Roger K, thanks for the tip. I have some fuel that shows up in my drip trays occasionally and will check my carb boots to see if they're snug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad Olmsted Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 My partner and I have noticed a small amount of fuel in the drip tray after flight (as seen through the oil check door). We recently wrapped the exhaust headers, so I'm not sure if the dripping was happening in the past and evaporating before landing due to the hotter header temps under the tray. The float bowl gasket was just replaced and the drip continues. The engine runs smoothly with no hint of flooding. There is no fuel coming from the air vent tube and no indication of dripping fuel where the inlet line is connected to the carb. My question is what are the next steps to resolve the drip? I assume float valve replacement should be tried. Nothing has been done to the carb to change the float level adjustment, although the floats themselves were changed out due to the old ones flaking. Is there a way to check the float level adjustment with the carb left on the plane? Also, can the float valve be replaced without removing the carb?
