Just noticed this but after racing my car round a bit there is a slight build up of fuel appearing, see pic below, what could be causing this.

Look for the following; check the heat sink and shim that fits between the block and heat sink, exhaust port or were the exhaust connects to the motor gasket could be shot, carb. to manifold fit ,is it tight and do you have a good seal in that area? RED

All that seems ok, it cant be nothing serious as the car runs fine and if there was air leaks the car would not run correctly am i right in saying this RED

redheat8

You are correct, could be a minor leak in the hose,hard to say with out taking a closer look at it, I would just watch it closely to make sure that it does not turn in to a big problem, RED

nitroarcher

will do, cheers RED

Good Luck , hope the weather clears up for you, RED

MAX-ST

when the engine floods, the excess gas leaks out of the cooling head right? so maybe the fuel mixture is too rich. but i many be wrong

If the heat sink bolts were loose I could see that happen , good point tho, RED

My Feedback: (1)

I always end up with a mess in that area if the glo plug is loose or the plug seal is shot or missing.

That would be enough to cause a loss of compression also, RED
