Hi Folks,
I had my carby reco'ed about a year ago, just the standard Stromberg. I took it off and put it back on myself, but it leaks a bit from underneath. Any ideas I could try before I take it somewhere and pay to get it fixed??
Thanks!
Sam

Take it off and make sure the base of the carb and the manifold (where the carb mounts to) are both flat.
Replace the base gasket (between the carb and manifold).
Cheers...Dave

Samboy,
You can also try sanding the base of the Carb flat on a peice of Glass to get rid of any warpage (usually caused by someone overtightening the bolts).
Some Hylomar spray on the Gasket helps and a bit of loctite on the threads when you redo the |
