the DGV's on my newly bought '73 240 have a problem. the rear carb drips fuel from the venturi at idle. I rebuilt the carb first thing but the problem persists. I can push on the lever and force the throttle totally closed to make it stop dripping but rev it once and the drip is back. any advice or source for advice? thanks all

 

only suggestion i have is to recheck your float adjustment

 

turns out the choke linkage was bent and holding the throttle open just enough to screw things up. fixed it and she ran pretty good. let it warm up a few min before adjusting mix , then it just choked and died. now it starts and revs fine but won't idle. hell i'm jinksed.
