Default Re: Carb leak

Had the smell of gas in the garage after the 31 was parked overnight with the Shut Off valve closed. Finally disconnected the fuel line at the carb and stuck it in an empty bottle overnight. Next morning had about two oz. in the bottle. Changed the Shut Off valve with a new one from Bratton's and the problem was fixed. The Zeniths tend to drip overnight if the valve is open or leaking - common problem. Went through a few inlet valves in the carb to try and stop the leak with minor success. Had the best luck with a viton tipped valve which leaked at first but eventually took a set and leaked very little. Let us know how you fixed the problem.
