By oswalt225 on Oct 06, 2009

" "
1954 corvette carter yh carbs, floats set @ 3/8 top, 2'' drop, runs good, but gas runs out the ''side draft '' opening when I shut the engine off. #1 is ok, but center and #3 leak , but not the entire amount of gas in the float compartment. I changed the top adjustment to 1/2'' to minimize gas volume in the float area, still leaks....why ?

Bad seal. Rebuild the Carb with a new kit and make sure you have no extra parts. You should be able to get a carb rebuild kit from your local auto parts store.
