Carb leaking out secondary shaft

[ef200098]

i have a speed demon 750 and there is a leak on the shaft that runs through the carb on the secondaries leaking on the side of the fuel inlet. the shaft just controlls the diaphram on the secondaries. anyone else have this problem?

That is a common problem it gets even worse on Edelbrocks and Blow Through cars

The throttle shaft bushings are probably worn. Alot of miles on it?

didn't think there were alot of miles on it. guess i was wrong. bought it used.

If it's just seeping a little bit, let it go. My holley started seeping almost right away when new. Replaced the bushings and it wasn't long before it started again.

seems a little risky. its only leaking when the the squirters pump fuel in and hits the throttle plates and runs through the baseplate out the carb. i would say everytime i pump the carb full open it leaks about 2-3 drops of fuel onto the intake manifold.

That is something you'll have to fix then. Whenever mine leaks it's only very slight. Can't even see a drip. Definately bushings probably.
