The fuel is definitely dripping from the manifold drip tubes, not
the float chamber tubes. If as Alan suggested that the float jets
may be dirty or worn or the float level set incorrectly or Larry's
suggestion of floats sinking, wouldn't the fuel be dripping out of
the float chamber overflow pipes instead?<br>
Thanks,<br>

<pre><span class="">Fellow Listers,
I'm getting a small amount of fuel dripping out from the intake manifold
drip pipes from my BJ7 when idling. What causes that? The engine is
running well and it doesn't appear to be on the rich side.
Thanks,
Elton
