[Mg-t] leaking carbs

[Clive Sherriff]

Three possibilities,

1  the needle valve in the lid has stuck open,

2  the float has a filled with fuel and sunk (usually due to a failure of 
the solder holding the two halves together),

3  corrosion of the float chamber centre bolt has jammed the float from 
rising, (caused by water in the fuel usually).
