First of all I got the beast started up about 10 minutes ago, What a buzz but there is a problem......
I'm runnind a 2.0 pinto with twin dellorto's which seem ok apart from the fact that fuel is running out of pots 3 and 4. Does anyone have a clue as to why it would do this and why only these two cylinders as I thought i'd set them both the same????
Cheers. john.

Stuck float on rear carb?

I agree - sounds like a stuck float. Try rapping on the float bowl area with a screwdriver handle while it's running. Often this'll jostle it loose, and it'll stop leaking.

thanks. All sorted now I think that the float in that carb was wrongly set/stuck. top lifted off and a bit of jiggery pokery and hey presto no leaking.
