Let me start by saying Iknow nothing about triumphs. i am a total newbie
and just begining to learn.
anyway, i looking at a 76 spitfire. the one i time i went to see it (i'm
planning followup visit) i spotted gas leaking from the area of the carb
sometime after the owner pulled out the choak but befor the enginine
started ( ny memory of the actual timing is not clear).
anyway i asked him about this leak and said it was normal when the carb was
flooded.

i am skeptical of his answer. any words of wisdom? if go forward with this
purchase am i looking a carb rebuild for sure?

thanks,
