<VV> Using the Monza

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Stephen,

Perhaps you answered this some time in the past and I didn't see it.  
However, is the leak you reference dripping inside the carbs into the intake or is it 
dripping from the outside of the carb into the engine compartment.  ........ 
Different problems with different solutions.  Also, different problems with 
different dangers.  The inside leak could cause scored cylinders and worn rings 
as well as gas diluted oil.  The outside leak could be a fire hazard or a 
toxic hazard if the weather gets chilly eventually and you use your heater.

You say that both carbs are leaking.  With both carbs leaking, I would assume 
that it is a result of something someone did to the carbs or the gas lines 
attached to them.  Did you rebuild the carbs or some other maintenance that was 
common to both?

As a stopgap, you may want to borrow a good set of carbs from a club member 
or other Corvair buddy until you have time to trouble shoot the real problem.
