Fuel seeping from Weber mixture screw.

Post by MIGHTY 8 »

Hi,

Noticed a seep (and Occasional drip) from 3 mixture screws after driving car. Last one towards the rear was perfectly dry.
I also noticed that after starting the engine, the problem corrected itself on two of the three mixture screws after running for a few minutes.

Any help greatly appreciated

Replace the O-ring on the screw shank.

Check you float levels, and make sure the fuel pressure is regulated at 2.5psi.

And while you have the carb tops off, check the size of the needle valves (should be 175 or 200), and make sure they move freely.
