[QUOTE="gagvanman, post: 640619, member: 17411"] Had this problem once before. 1776 twin 34 ICT's, Huco electric fuel pump. I stripped the carbs and replaced both needle jets 6 months ago, floats tested ok and set to 8mm gap. I'm guessing that the engine is creating a vacuum once stopped and causing a syphon effect, but I also would expect the fuel pump to close and also once the carb fuel bowls are full the needle jets would stop any more fuel entering them. Another strip down on the cards and somehow test the fuel pump... [/QUOTE]
