Brian_Heil Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Drip trough that goes under carburetor. Keeps leaking fuel off the exhaust takedown pipe. Edited January 11, 2022 by Brian_Heil (see edit history) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieBuick Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Brian, thank you for your post. I have a another but its full of "crud", given the early road conditions I am not surprised. My original car didn't have one fitted hence I was in the dark on this one. It may well be prudent to stop any fuel leaks though. I'll fit it in due course for originality..

Brian_Heil Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Agree on the leaks but if you use the ‘tickler’ button on the top of the carb bowl cover to flood the bowl to ease starting, you hold it down until it leaks out around the button so the trough catches the leak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 My 1925 Master splash pan has a sump of about the same shape stamped into it with a hole to direct any leaking fuel away from the exhaust pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
