I'm sorry but 40 years experience shows me that petrol in a carb DOES evaporate. No carb is totally air tight since there is a tiny hole in the jet otherwise it wouldn't be able to inject fuel into the airstream, plus there is a pipe running from the carb back to the petrol tank, so even that pipe w...

It might make it start easily, but it's long term use is not good for any engine.

My fuel pump is new but I find similar symptoms, an evident lack of fuel to the engine after a period of a couple of weeks without running. I recently towed the car on a trailer to Spain and the same problem occurred when I tried to start it. I doubt that evaporation could be the cause - where woul...

If it is going back into a channel shaped frame I asked the glass company for some nylon flat spacers and put these in the bottom section so that the glass was held probably 5mm from the bottom of the channel. Then dry fitted the glass to the complete frame to check it fitted. You might also need sp...
