1930 745 Phaeton
Posted by Ken Sadler On 2011/3/17 13:31:16
At long last I have taken delivery of my 745 phaeton and enjoying getting to know it.
My first small issue is a rather bad fuel leak when I fire up the engine. The vacuum pump has been bypassed at some time and an electric fuel pump has been installed.
I dont think its the pump itself that is forcing the leak as I have run the pump on its own and it seems not to leak. Once the engine is running the fuel literally pours out of the bottom of the carb from both points I have circled in the photo.
Do any of you good folk have any words of wisdom before I start to take out and dismantle the carb?
