I have Solex 40 PAIO carbs as fitted to Series 2 and 2a land rovers. After a run and when I have switched the engine off I can hear a gurgling in the carb which I have checked and it is petrol flooding out of the carb into the inlet tract. I have checked all the normal things i.e fuel pressure and float chamber height and floats etc.
Is this a normal problem and is there anything which can be done to avoid it ? Most of the fuel in the float chamber seems to end up in the inlet manifold/tract. This can give a rich mixture for restarting which is not always ideal and I suspect a lot of it probably goes down past the piston and into the oil overnight.
Any ideas please ?
Many thanks for any input.
