Hi all

Well on top of all the little (and big) things I'm trying to settle on
my TR6, my recently identified SU H6 carbs have decided to become
incontenent.  After a short trip Friday night to check if flushing the
rad again has brought the running temp down, I returned to my garage and
popped the hood.

I was greeted by the sight of gas dripping at a high rate from the
bottom of the jet of the front carb.  Said drips would land on the wheel
arch and splash onto the hot manifold.  Where's that fire
extinguisher?!?!

So, is this an easy fix or should I just put "Reggie" on jack stands and
start pulling the tranny, diff, oil pump, front suspension, and radiator
as well as now the carbs as all need rebuilding/new seals, and other
attention.
