[Tigers] Conundrum!

[D or G at sbc]

 The carb. can have a small leak that drips on the intake manifold, which evaporates fast, so you won't notice it.

 Tym,Compared to a modern car with fuel injection and smog controls, the Tiger will definitely smell, especially after a run.The carb is essentially a cup of gas sitting on a hot plate (engine).BUT, if its more than normal, don't leave it inside until you solve it.  The tanks are all connected by rubber that candeteriorate.Gary W.

   Tigers,       I went out into the garage the other day.  The smell of gasoline was overpowering!   I emptied the three cars and let the garage clear.  I put the Tiger back in the garage first and closed the garage doors.  Twenty minutes later the smell of gas was evident.       There are no leaks, puddles, etc.  I checked everything.  I started the car and let it warm up - nothing seems to be wrong!       Ideas would be appreciated.       Tym McDowell  _______________________________________________
