Re: new 94 carburetor gas mileage
I definitely don't want to take anything apart on this carb without talking to Carpenter. I will do that first. Thanks for all the comments.

Re: Fueling a '40
I have exactly the same problem. The gas running down my fender has damaged the paint. It would be great if you get some good ideas on how to remedy this.

Re: brake light switch
I've been using a Ron Francis switch for a couple of years and it works great. It costs more but I think it is worth it. It doesn't require as much pressure for it to light up the brake lights...
