[Healeys] Fwd: Fuel from the manifold drip tubes

[Michael Oritt]

Elton--

The level of the jet bridge at the base of the carb is lower than the top
of the float and the fuel will seep out of the jet, around the needle, down
into the manifold and out the tubes way before it will actually fill the
float bowl.
