Started the Jeep up last night (Factory AMC 304 V8, Holley 600 CFM 4bbl.)
Noticed a fuel-leak/drip from the Right, Rear corner of the carb. Initially, it looked like it was coming from the Vacuum-Secondary Diaphragm Housing (but that wouldn't make any sense.)
I tried to track the leak down, but no luck visually.
When I removed the carb from the intake, the carb/intake gasket had a pool of fuel on it.
I'll take it apart soon, but does this sound like a blown power valve, or something else?
The Power-Valve is only two-weeks old, and carb was "New" in 1999, so it should have Holley Factory Power-Valve blow-out protection (post 1991 carb.)
If not a blown power-valve, what type leak does this seem like?
