How much of a problem is fuel seepage from the Holley (ford badged) carbs? I had a problem starting the CMP today and on looking found that the base of the carb was wet with petrol - it's been seeping down onto the top of the engine as well. That to me looks bad, but there seems to be some differing opinions on the net on whether that's normal for old Holley carb's.
Am I looking at an expensive repair, or is that just normal and it'll evaporate off when it gets warm?
It looks a lot like its coming from the throttle/choke spindle (where the idle speed screw is).
