Hi

After driving my bug then switching off the engine one chamber on only one of my IDA's leaks a small amount of fuel constantly and sits on top of the butterfly. The other chamber on the same carb is perfect and does not leak.

Pump jet??

Any thoughts??

Thanks

It's leaking from the chamber nearest to the pump

your fuel isn't boiling?
happened to me... after shutting down carb temp rizes and fuel starts to boil.
I installed a switch to kill the pump a few hundred meters before I arrive home,
so the chambers are emptied...

Good point, but seems strange how it's only one chamber!
