[TR] Leaking Stromberg

[Dave]

Check the bore on the float bowl.  There may be some old, dried O-ring stuck there.  Or corrosion.  O-rings can't seal against that sort of thing.

The best solution is to find some float bowls from a late model MGB or TR7.  They are not even bored and, hence, no chance of leaking.  (Note: get the screws, too, since their lengths are different.)

For some reason the rear stromberg on our 1970 TR6, CC59179L, leaks fuel from float drain plug, I thought it was simple fix, first replace O-ring … nope, OK order new drain plugs from Moss … Nope … still leaks.


Any and all help greatly appreciated.
