Carbs draining fuel overnight

Featured Replies

Hello all,

Have just replaced my carbs with Ztherapy ones and have noticed that the carbs drain fuel over a couple of days and when I start the car I have to wait for the fuel system to refill.

I guess I have a leak and intend to put some newspaper under the carbs after starting the car from cold and then shutting off. if there are blotches on the paper then I guess I have found the leak.

However I was wondering if there is something else I need to check - fuel return system perhaps?

Cheers

Glenn

Do you still have a heat shield under your carbs??? The heat from your header may be partially evaporating the fuel..

Maybe??

Have you contacted the place you bought them from? They may know what the problem is and warranty it for you.

Hey Nustad...

I would call Steve or Bruce over at Z-Therapy. They have always been very helpful to me.

Let us know what you find out....
