[Fot] 1972/1973 GT6 Stromberg - Fuel Leak

[Kas Kastner]

Not unusual at all for a stored car to have the needle and seat gummed up from
the stale gas and thus pour fuel out the overflow pipe or opening.. A little
lacquer thinner  and thirty minutes will cure that problem..

  Gentlemen

      Our two GT6s street cars were started late  yesterday after about three
  to four months in indoor storage.  Unfortunately, both have fuel leaks from
the
  factory Stromberg which were  observed only after the engine was turned off.
  In the case of one  GT6s, the Strombergs had been recently rebuilt.

      I have had these particular cars for many years  (one for nearly 20
  years). This is the first time  that either has had this problem even though
both
  have been used sparingly  over my ownership. Rather odd coincidence that
they
  both developed the same  problem over the last three months or so.

      We have not had time yet to had time  to determine the source of the
  leaks. I would appreciate any guidance  as to what to look for as to the
typical
  underlying cause and permanent solution  (if there is one).

      Thanks in advance for you advice and guidance.

  Cary
