Re: carb problem
Could be any number of things, but check around the fuel inlet line and follow it all the way back to the steel lines on the fenderwell. Check for leaks.
The canister catches fuel vapors and saves them to burn later. A few drops of fuel in the line now and then (especially after it's cooled off) could be considered normal. Just make sure all the hoses, etc. are hooked up properly.
