After placing the correct Carter carb on the WC52, I had it idling and responding well to throttle input. However, upon shutdown, I would see a small fuel weep from the 'vent' hole above the mounting stud.
I compared it to another ETW1 I have, and apparently, that's not a manufacturers vent hole
Is this a common occurrence? Perhaps poor casting? I can replace it with another good base/governor, but I may JB Weld this small hole.
I don't think its common. others would have replied if they had seen it I bet. i have rebuilt quite a few and havent seen or heard of it. bad casting day? hungover pattern setter? ;/)
