Good thread. I bet alot of people have this same problem. I know I do too. My 440 71 has this problem even though I have a insulating spacer on it to keep the temperature down on the carb. Still smell gas, but there are no leaks to be seen.




The spacer is only slowing the process , there is so much heat coming off the intake the ethanol in the fuel is still going to boil .
