Hey guys,
Does anybody have a good, effective remedy for a porous carburetor bowl? Since having the problems recently with my carb which mysteriously all happened when we had switched to winter formulation- I have noted that my Stromberg WW carb has developed the porous bowl symptom. The outside of the carb surrounding the bowl area appears slightly moist (not really damp or wet) and if the car sits a couple days the bowl is dry and takes longer to start since the carb needs to get fresh gas pumped in from the fuel pump. More annoying is the smell of gas because the carb body is damp.
Of course I suspect part of the problem is the wonderful ethenol we get to enjoy thanks to the Government. But even if not, I need a solution that won't be degraded by the ethenol.....
