[QUOTE="Olly the Ozbus, post: 429069, member: 3849"] Hi Chaps, I don't manage to get on here any more, thanks to a little monster who crawls around the house throwing my stuff on the floor, but I have a wee problem that I'd like to put to the oracle... I sometimes had fuel smells int he cabin so I replaced the breather elbow in the vent and the breather t-piece at the top of the engine bay and all seemed to be fixed. However, in the last few days I've noticed that if I start the engine without first setting ther choke (by blipping the throttle prior to starting) then the fuel line from the pump to the carb gets damp and I get furl smells. If I start having first set the choke then no problemo and no smells! Just wondering if anyone else has experience this and what the best course of action would be to fix it- I was thinking that it might be the float chamber being too full but I can't see why setting the choke would change this (other than using more fuel when first started)... Any suggestions or pearls of wisdom gratefully recieved:) Cheers, Olly [/QUOTE]
