Not unusual at all for a stored car to have the needle and seat gummed up from
the stale gas and thus pour fuel out the overflow pipe or opening.. A little
lacquer thinner and thirty minutes will cure that problem..

Subject: [Fot] 1972/1973 GT6 Stromberg - Fuel Leak
Gentlemen
Our two GT6s street cars were started late yesterday after about three
to four months in indoor storage. Unfortunately, both have fuel leaks from
the
factory Stromberg which were observed only after the engine was turned off.
In the case of one GT6s, the Strombergs had been recently rebuilt.
I have had these particular cars for many years (one for nearly 20
years). This is the first time that either has had this problem even though
both
have been used sparingly over my ownership. Rather odd coincidence that
they
both developed the same problem over the last three months or so.
We have not had time yet to had time to determine the source of the
leaks. I would appreciate any guidance as to what to look for as to the
typical
underlying cause and permanent solution (if there is one).
Thanks in advance for you advice and guidance.
Cary
