johnnyjr Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I've done some searching but have turned up nothing that's clear. I have a 2005 CT, today I was flying around and began to smell fuel so I went back to the airport. After exiting the runway I was at 2K RPM waiting for my taxi instructions and noticed she was running rough. Completed the shut down stepped out and found fuel dripping from below the cowl. I removed the cowl and traced the fuel back to the airbox, then the vent line to 1 of the carbs. The carb was venting fuel even after shutting down, it was not until I shut the fuel valve that the leak slowed then stopped. Anyone able to shed light on this for me?

Tom Baker Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 My first guess would be that the float have absorbed fuel and are now too heavy. Drop the float bowl and look to see where the pin that extends out of the side of the float is riding in relation of the fuel level. The pin shoud ride right at the fuel level.
