Just a thought.
If the car has been sitting for some time. Check all of the fuel
supply hoses to the carbs. The additives in many of today's fuels are
playing havoc with rubber hoses.
The worst place are hoses that are higher up in the engine
compartment. Methinks that the problem is with vapor in the high points
attacking the rubber.
Daily drivers, don't seem to have a problem. But the braided hose
going from the fuel filter to the carb on my Jaguar has failed again after a
year and a half of mainly sitting. I've seen many cases with fabric covered
hoses where the hose does not appear to leak. It just gets black instead of
grey, and you get a fuel smell in the cockpit.
Good luck
Kelvin.
