Apperloo,

Welcome to the Barn. Same thing happened to me. When we bought our Roadster I brought it home and parked in the garage. Next morning my wife freaked out with the gas smell.

One of the guys in our Model A Club suggested that when I drive it into the garage, turn off the gas valve and leave the car running until all the gas is drained from the carburetor and the engine stops running.

One very important thing, don't forget to turn off the key. I forgot to turn the key off once and ruined my battery.

I would try that before trouble shooting other problems.

Good luck,

David Serrano
