Sheppo Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 High all. Another day another Herald problem. Yesterday the car engine was running at very high revs. I checked the accelerator cable but no problem there. Valve problem? There was a very strong smell of fuel and even a fuel leak from where the metal fuel line feeds into the rubber hose before the carb. It got worse and decided to call out rescue after pulling over who towed it home. Any idea as to what it could be? And how easy is it to fix? s always all suggestions most welcome.Sheppo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Choke stuck open? Been there, got the t-shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppo Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Not the choke. Air filter is off and I can see the choke moving freely. I'm thinking maybe the float chambers although I don't want to spend time and money refurbing the carb if I can avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimher Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 ...Wasn't it the Stromberg that has the rubber diaphragm that either perishes or gets the odd 'pinhole'.....Just a thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
