Default Re: Gas leaking from both carbs

We have digressed from your problem. More info needed. When you referred to dripping at the throttle plates in your first post, were you looking down the throat of the carb and saw gas on the throttle plates, or are you seeing gas leaking on the outside of the carb around the throttle shafts?

It was visible on the outside of the carb, on both sides (left and right) of the plates. Or actually it was dripping off from the shafts that stick out. I did get 10 Gallons of ethanol free gas after starting this thread and getting the ethanol gas response and I have not noticed it happening since.
