Flowlock

Belts, Plugs, Filters, Fuels, Oils, additives etc..... Told you this might morph into servicing and service items.

Flowlock

Post by crs_20 »

Today I moved the car and parked on an incline (nose down) and left it there for 3-4 hours with no problem.

The car was then started and left ticking over for 10 mins, after switching the car off fuel started to drip from the rear carb.

I assume this suggests an issue with the Flowlock? As soon as I moved it to level ground it stopped.

The car is a 1984 year if that makes any difference.

I'd start by checking the float levels.
I think that's more likely than flowlock.
