Carburetor
My T is run rough and missing. I noticed that the carburetor leaks when parked unless I shut the gas off while it's running until it starves itself of gas. I'm pretty far from a mechanic and I'm still new model t's so any help would be appreciated.

Re: Carburetor

this is your second post about pretty much the same problem as the other post, except this time you are leaving out some critical details...like the fact that the car ran fine before hitting a huge bump.
1. Post a picture of your carb so that all of the guessers will know what carb you have
2. Purchase the MTFCA carb manual to see how to repair/clean your particular carburetor
your leaking problem is a common symptom of a float valve with crud in it; the same crud that was postulated to be causing you problems in your other thread.
This forum will do it's best to help you, but you have to help us by providing all of the backround, too
best of luck getting this sorted out. Carburetor problems are experienced at one time or another by nearly everyone and you will benefit from knowing more about your specific carb after this exercise is over.
welcome to the hobby and have fun (which it will be as soon as you get past this hurdle)
