When my electric fuel pump is running and the engine isn't, fuel is running out of all 4 carburetors (stromberg cd 2). It apears to be flowing out of two small holes which are located above main air in flow hole. The gasket between the air cleaner housing and the carb' body has holes in it which allow these holes to be seen. I don't think all four needles would be leaking at once? https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?2,28762,28762#msg-28762 Sat, 10 Oct 2026 19:51:48 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?2,28762,28813#msg-28813 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?2,28762,28813#msg-28813
When you replace the needle valve, don't over tighten the alloy washer.


My V12 suffers from this problem if I let it run out of fuel when I'm warming it up on the drive. I think it pulls up some muck in the tank which sticks the needle vaves.

Sorry this is a very late comment, but I have only just spotted it]]> wiltshire57 Jaguar E-Type Forum Wed, 04 Aug 2004 15:42:06 +0000 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?2,28762,28762#msg-28762 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?2,28762,28762#msg-28762 stuart Jaguar E-Type Forum Wed, 07 Apr 2004 07:17:16 +0000
