More detail: =C3=83=C2=B8 It seems to leak through the throat of the carb =C3=83=C2=B8 It drips once every 3-5 sec =C3=83=C2=B8 I only have noticed it immediately post-fueling (perhaps it wa s dripping after shutdown, but I didn't notice) Today I think it dripped for around 45min after fueling. Weird. Any thoughts on what could be responsible? When the engine is running I wou ld expect all of this fuel to be sucked into the carb itself. Relative to t he amount of fuel an M14 uses this should be trivial.

Normally I would put it down to a faulty membrane, but it was new and therefore most unlikely. But I suspect it is a sticking fuel valve. We will be looking into it.
