[TR] Carb woes

[John Gillis]

As suggested fitted a new plug on my now running TR2 engine, no more splutter
and running well (thanks Randall). But in true TR form the front carb is now
spilling fuel out the overflow pipe on tick-over, when I bring the revs up it
stops, and when back at idle it starts to leak again, Im guessing a stuck
float valve or punctures float. I had these carbs re-built by Burlen at great
cost, and they also tend to leak at the cork seals where the float bowl joins
the carb. I have the later rubber version fitted to the TR3s and as
suggested
in the Moss catalogue I was thinking of fitting these at the same time as
sorting out the valve/float problem. Can anyone tell me what tell-tale signs
Im looking for here?
