But one way to test this is to turn the fuel off and pump the primer dry with the engine running and see if it persists.

Any ideas? The normal 'Stromberg drip' is from the float bowl running over due to the needle and seat not being able to hold back the pressure from the header tank. This one sounds different, since you're saying the fuel valve is closed. Where exactly is the drip coming from? > Patrick Thompson >Enumclaw, WA > ================================================================== TO UNSUBSCRIBE go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
