Re: Fuel and Lever Question

  Hi Cy,

  My '69 B recently developed a gasoline odor when running.  I noticed a
fuel residue buildup on the top of the rear carb's floatbowl.  Replaced
the float needle & seat (float valve) and the odor went away. 
Apparently it was a very slow leak.  I suppose it was losing fuel down
the overflow tube.

   I had to richen the rear carb a bit to make up for the lower fuel
level in the rear bowl. I have a smoother idle now too, so the rear carb
must have been flooding a bit.
