Default Re: My new Air Filter issue

If the carb leaks and most do you won't have a disaster waiting to happen. Small price to pay to protect your vehicle.
This is not directed at the poster but at the general problem of a leaking carburetor.

If the carburetor leaks it is a problem.

If the carburetor float valve does not seat, fix it.

If the gas shut off valve does not shut off fix it.

By not fixing the problem you are courting disaster.

I have seen the results of a fire in an engine compartment with a leaking carburetor and an air filter. The cause of the problem is not the air filter it is a leaking carburetor.

If you chose to not install an air cleaner on a leaking carburetor you are not fixing the underlying problem, if it leaks fix it.

If you don't have time to do it right the 1st time, how do you have time to do it the 2nd time?
