Gas dripping from front of carb.

[hardkorefishing]

I got a 75 Hp Chrysler that when it idles a small drip of gas will come out from the front of the carb, where the butterfly choke is at. I dont hear any hesitation or stalling sounds, any suggestions?

Re: Gas dripping from front of carb.

Sounds like the float valve on that carburetor is not shutting off completely. See if tapping the bowl of that carburetor with a screwdriver handle will get it to stop temporarily. Sometimes a sticking float will unstick when you tap on it. You may need to remove the carb and disassemble and clean and put in a rebuild kit with special attention to the float settings and a new float valve.
