Gas in the air intake box
What a wonderful weekend it was....sunshine, mid 70's, absolutely perfect to take the Spider out. On the way home, she started running a little rough, sputtering on acceleration....but not a problem to rev here once going, so I did not feel it was fuel starvation...some backfiring too...too much fuel? I came home, and opened the hood. Noticed fuel had dripped on top of the fuel filter, it had come from the little drain holes in bottom of the air intake. Took the cover off, not a whole lot of fuel in there, but I could feel the carb intakes being wet, at least the one I checked.....not sure if this is related to poor performance......any idea what this could be? Does this sound like a carb rebuild to you?
