[Healeys] Fuel from the manifold drip tubes

[Bob Spidell]

That's mostly normal when the engine's cold, but shouldn't happen much, 
if at all, once it's been warmed-up.  The only explanation I can think 
of is running rich, due to the reasons Alan suggested.  I have gotten it 
occasionally on my BJ8 when warm, though.

Google 'wall wetting' for some technical info, although it mostly 
applies to injected engines (I always assumed it wouldn't happen with 
injected engines, but it can be a problem with them, too).
