Thanks guys,
I store my cars with a good shot of fresh engine oil in the accelerator pump cylinder to keep it soft.. but nothing lasts forever..
Funny how I recall rebuilding it, twice already, feels like yesterday, but I checked my receipts and 7 years ago was the last time! Whoa..
The time to have looked at your carb was right then and there to determine if it was leaking fuel out some where it should not.
Yeah, I totally agree.... it wasn't until after I had secured a jump and was on my way (had an important meeting that had me focussed on that) .. and I slowed my brain down enough to ponder what might have happened... that's when I recalled the smell of gas was stronger than usual.. and I'm like "OK, it's probably the carb."
I haven't had a chance to pull it back out of storage to check it all, but yeah - it'll give it a full regular tune up with all filters, gap the plugs, chassis lube... I'm even running points in it still.. I flushed the fluids already.
Cheers,
