What kind of floats are in your friend's SU carbs? There have been some
problems with today's gas and the brass floats found in the H series SU's.
The solder on the float fails, the float gets heavy, and gas comes out of
the overflow. I think the HS floats are plastic, and I haven't heard of that
happening with those, but it is worth a look.
