This is an interesting idea that needs some careful thought and
investigation but I see a problem with where do you safely vent the fuel
vapors and fuel.

The best place would be back to the fuel tanks but I don't think there =

enough pressure to do that correctly.

A charcoal canister might work but I'm not sure it can take more than =

Subject: [Tigers] Interesting carburetor Observation
As I cruised around a few web sites to scare up a rebuild kit for my =
stock
two barrel, I came across some interesting pictures. The stock 2 =
barrel
carb is from the "2100" family. The slightly later but related 2150 =
family
has a significant difference.
I'm suspecting that for one reason or another, fuel came out of the vent =
on
the top of the fuel bowl, boiling, leaky valve, or whatever, and this is
what fueled my recent fire. The 2150, instead of just having an open =
vent
hole, has a little fitting that was apparently designed to accept a =
hose,
perhaps to drain any overflow to a safe location.
So I'm looking for an extremely low profile right angle fitting... I'm
thinking aquarium hose size... That will fit under the stock air =
cleaner...
Any other ideas out there?
Stu
