Fuel coming out of carb mouths

[brian GT6.]

All done on both carbs and no leaks any more. Would be nice to replace the float needle valves at some stage. Float chambers were surprisingly clean with fuel and just a couple of black rubber slivers in the one nearest the bulkhead.

 

Just got to redo the valve clearances and change the oil and she's good for a summer of reversing in and out of the garage.

 

I've just worked out that the only mechanical parts, including engine, radiator, exhaust, propshaft,  suspension , brakes, CV joint replacement and diff that I haven't replaced over the last three years is the gearbox.

 

I never intended to replace everything it just happened.

Ha! I was filling in an insurance valuation form for my Spitfire the other day. It asks what work has been done since purchase. The list of new body panels covered just about the whole thing, then there's the replacement engine, gearbox, prop, diff, front brakes, seats, carpets, all the lights, hinges, handles... The glass is original, or at least, the door glass both sides were replaced shortly before I took possession.
