Hey guys,
None of the other carbs Ive any experience with, didn't have anything like the 2 "vent" tubes located adjacent to the fuel line.
What exactly are these two vents doing?
The reason I ask is, After turning fuel on there are a few drops of fuel leaking from 'somewhere' in there.
I was thinking it might be the o-rings on the fuel pipes connecting the rack together.
But, maybe its one or both of these vents.
Nurse Julie:
They vent fumes to atmosphere. If everything is ok in the carbs there should be no fuel coming out of tem.

Ten 4 Julie thanks.
I will dig back in and get the o-rings replaced.
I was trying to avoid separating them. But gotta do what I gotta do. :)
any tips or tricks to this o-ring replacement?
After the first couple leaking drops the leak stops and they hold fuel fine.

Hi Eric, Christmas came early today, your plate arrived, thanks very much. 👍
It's going on the garage wall next to a couple of other plates from California and New Jersey. 😎
Cheers, Gareth
