It appears that one of my floats is not floating. When I shake the float, it
appears to be partially filled with liquid.
Is it reasonable to believe that is the cause of my gas leak?
Anyone know of any URLs with HS8 info, parts, maintenance info?

Subject: SU HS6 Carburetor Problem -- (Correction)
Importance: High
Like I said, I do not know very much about carburetors. I believe that these
are HS8 S.U. 2" Carburetors
Suit: Jaguar/Daimler XJ6, Rover 200TC
VDP Princess "R" Etc. (http://www.sumidel.com/)

I need some advice on how to proceed with the repair of a carburetor gas
leak.
The carburetors that I am using are from a Rover 2000. They are SU HS6
carburetors. Bolted (with three (3) bolts) to the top of the Float Chamber
is the Float Chamber Lid. There is a small vent hole on the Float Chamber
Lid under the opening where the line to the second carburetor is located.
There is a small metal clip over the vent hole that is secured by two small
clips on each side and an opening through which the fuel line passes.
When I bump the starter, gas rushes from the small vent hole. If the clip is
removed, the stream shoots directly to the fender. Today, I removed the
Float Chamber Lid, delivered it to my mechanic and he replaced the needle
and seat assembly. This did not help.
I have zero experience with carburetors. I hope that some of the listers
that are experienced with these carburetors can tell me what is going on and
what I need to do the fix the problem.
Help and comments greatly appreciated.
Regards,
tw
