Hello. I researched the archives first. All references I found referred to leaks. Most of the suggestions have already been done. The rear carburetor will on occasion weep/seep fuel. I believe that it is coming from the weep hole (the front one doesn't have one???) or from the end of the rubber fuel line. Recent maintenance for a 800 mile trip included all new rubber fuel lines, fuel filter, new fuel bowl gasket and cleaning of the float, which was a little "sticky" before I cleaned it. Any idea how to stop it? Any chance it may increase? Leaking fuel above the exhaust manifold sounds like a bad combination. Thanks.
