I have been experiencing a fuel smell on climb out and a lingering smell once back in the hangar. Checked all the fuel tank and fuel line connections and all is dry. When I put my hand under the carb filters I get wet gas. My filters elements are starting to turn white from red.
I went back and looked at the Carb float SB and if reading correctly my engine and carbs are outside of the range. My engine serial no. Is 6779981, my l/h carb ser no is 116358 and the r/h is 120372.
When I start the engine cold with choke on the engine runs just a little rough so I immediately push the choke back in which drops the rpm and forces me to add a little throttle to keep rpm in the green. Other than that this thing runs great. Just don't like the possiblefuel issue.
For those that may have experienced this in the past I would appreciate your feedback.
