Re: fuel problem

Definitely need to look for leaks somewhere first. Look carefully under the gas tank for pin holes. I had a few that were so small the gasoline was evaporating before it reached the floor. But, I sure smelled it in the summer heat.

Another thing to do is to check that gas isn't being forced out of the carb and also have someone rev the engine while you look at the exhaust. Check for black smoke indicating a rich condition.
