Outta_OC Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Herro again Ratsun, More minor issues that I can't afford to have a mechanic fix! Noticed I was dribbling gas the other day while I topped up my oil on my lunch break. The gas is dribbling out in the pic, happens when I apply the throttle, but stops if I hold the throttle or let off. Is a carb rebuild in order or would a new carb be the way to go, can you even tell from my pics? Thanks for any input... Quote Link to comment

Doctor510 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Try tightening the screws on the accelerator pump fitting. YES, all 4 of them. 2 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Could be a pin hole in the diaphragm, happened to Draker, $15 fix if I remember correctly. 2 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 happen to me also. the accel pump daiphrame had a hole and was worse when you push the pedal webercarbs direct sell them but most weber dealers just sell the whole rebuild it.which you really dont need. you can buy a new carb if you want but this is a cheap fix http://www.webercarbsdirect.com/product_p/47407.355.htm Quote Link to comment
Outta_OC Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks for the info and links fellas, I don't want to buy a new carb lol the leak looked like it was coming out of a spot that was rivetted together so I wasn't sure if I could fix it. I will try the two mentioned fixes when I get home and if that doesn't work I will get a hold of Weber direct. 1 Quote Link to comment
