    As Larry has posted that the new ones still leak I'd like to see Uncle Max or Clive check in and explain why this might be happening.
    My reason for posting this is, I have two of the new ones on the flathead that is in the '38 Deluxe coupe. They were on the car when I got it. Harrison bought them, and put them on the car before it came north to Michigan. I've owned the car for two years and drive it regularly in the summer. I have not put a lot of miles on it due to it still having origional mechanical brakes BUT the carbs have never leaked during my ownership. they sit over the winter and last spring I only turned on the electric pump, ran the throttle a couple of times and it fired right up. From my experience I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

    The plater guy is a flake with a gambling problem, he will tell you what you want to hear to get your money and turn out crap.

    Surely, an Oklahoma Anomoly perhaps explained by someone setting the floats too high. If the problem persists for more than four hours, call me.
    By their nature, Strombergs will always vent to the atomosphere through the felt washer on top of the pump. Some staining, over time, is part of the allure. If the float's too high, or on the off-chance there's a hole in the float, it's possible they could "leak" from there.
    Jet well plugs and fuel inlet gasket surfaces are kept leak-free with the use of modern gasket material and will not leak unless they are over or under tightened. (See Oklahoma) :D

    Lets see, gas sloshing around in a bowl with a hole in the top and only a felt washer to stop it from leaking, you tell me..If that is the only place it leaks, GREAT..
