Accelerator pump jet - Check its o-ring (fibre washer) hasn't split.

[LYNCHSTAR]

it has a new rubber one on it.

There-in lies the problem then - It's a fibre washer that should be fitted, not a rubber o-ring.

For ref, it's the small, red, fibre washer next to the spacer gasket...

Yep could be this..i use a rubber o-ring on the acc jet with no probs.

If its dripping fuel in though it should be mega rich not lean. I bet the fuel is comeing from the aux venturi
