Phil: For what it's worth, I turn my fuel off as I'm coming around the hanger. By the time I get to the ramp, the carb has been run dry. As the engine starts to die, add full throttle. When the engine stops, pull the throttle to idle and switch mags off. Some-times after a couple of minutes some fuel may still drip from the carb box, but it's only a few drops. This is caused from the vapour in the intake tubes condesing and running back through the throat of the carb. If I do not run the system dry, and just shut the mags off, it will look like I have a major leak. It is usually a small stream for second or two. All this is perfectly normal. Is this the kind of problem you're talking about with yours? Ron
