[TR] TR3 Carb float overflow

[wbeech]

Gary,
Sounds more like your valve is sticking.  Pull the top off, everything
should move VERY freely and be clear from any debris.

The rear carb on my TR 3 vents gas out the overflow / vent tube. We  have
replaced the float valve three times but the problem will not go away.  A
gentle massage to the side of the bowl with a hammer usually stops it for a
while.
 
 Could there be too much pressure from the stock fuel pump?
 
 Anyone encountered this?
