Obviously don't know if its leaking in flight (haven't seen any premature fuel loss airborne), but when I run the electric fuel pump on the ground, it looks like once the bowl fills, every bit of the gas is leaking out the airbox. My mechanic thinks its a problem with the float sticking. He thinks it may not be a problem when the engine is running, but that we need to get it fixed. The carb was an overhauled exchange from Kelly, and it was installed at the beginning of September. Any help would be appreciated Steven Jackson '75 AA-1B (O-320A2B Collier) N1434R L22 Yucca Valley, CA ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:48:41 PM PST US From: TeamGrumman@AOL.COM Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Carburetor Fuel Leak --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com In a message dated 11/11/04 5:44:37 PM, steven.jackson14@adelphia.net writes: > The carb was an overhauled > exchange from Kelly, and it was installed at the beginning of September. > Don't know if this helps or not, but, I had a carb overhauled by Kelly about 5 years ago and had the same problem.

I think there are some with a plastic float that sometimes gets a leak. You might call http://www.precisionairmotive.com/ and ask them about it. They are the manufacture of the carb now.
