Hello !!
I'm trying to get my TR6 back on the road after a several year hiatus. This past Saturday I installed a new battery, checked the fluids and started the engine. After a couple attempts it started and sounded normal. Shortly after I was checking the engine compartment and noticed fuel leaking from the front carb. It appeared to be leaking from the bottom of the float chamber. After researching the issue on this forum and finding help from Poolboy and others I removed the bottom plugs in both carbs and replaced the two O-rings with #114 O-rings.
With my fingers crossed I started the TR6 again tonight. Fired right up and sounded good. Checked the engine compartment again and dang - lots of fluid leaking at/near the right bottom of the radiator. I thought the radiator was leaking. Upon further inspection lots of fuel was leaking out of the bottom of the evaporator canister.
I'm not mechanically inclined so I'm thinking this needed repair is way beyond me but hoping someone could help explain what would cause this problem and what has to be done to correct it.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
