[QUOTE="jy951, post: 409918, member: 16602"] I think those carbs will always drip some due to their design. The throttle plate shaft is verticle with a hole all the way through the top and bottom of the carb body. There is no oring or seal on this shaft. When the motor stops, any excess fuel finds its way through the hole and leaks out. I'm betting you will see dripping fuel of this shaft even when rebuilt. Most likely, this fuel just evaporates and you would not notice it. But since your oil tank is removed, it will be easy to see. [/QUOTE]
