[TR] TR3 Carb float overflow

[DLylis at aol.com]

Is this all the time?  Unpredictably intermittent? After the car sits  for a 
while?
I have heard similar complaints; had them myself, and the blame tends to go  
to ethanol in the fuel, but I am not sure that I buy that.  All the time  may 
mean, as had been pointed out, that there is gas in the float.   Intermittent 
may mean that there is piece of debris in the chamber that  finds its way in 
the way every so often.  Also previously mentioned.   I have the 'after the car 
sits for a while' problem and opening the bowl reveals  a little gummy stuff 
that keeps it from working properly.  My bet is that  since it is only and 
always one carb that you have a leaking float with gas in  it. You don't even 
need to take the carbs off or disconnect the lines to  check it out.  I prefer 
the rap on top of the hex that hold the cover  rather than the side.
