TR2/3/3A Help!! Gas smell from Tr3!

Share this page

There's a TR chap in England named Stuart and he suggesed once to clean under the carbs first - till it's all dry - and then he puts on a dusting of talcum powder and watches whether one or both talcum areas get wet from leaking gas.
 
Had the same problem with my 59. I finally closed the rubber tank vent, (Randall reminded me that the cap should be vented anyway), and now my wife is happy and I'm not concerned that the house will blow up every time the gas hot water heater ignites! Just fold it over and clamp it1
