Ok, so I just checked Moss Motors web site and it seems I have a series 3 valve that I put on my just rebuilt Stromberg. Still having a fuel leak coming out of the vent hole at the 10 0-clock position just like member dig had. I am stumped?

Did the leak start when you rebuilt your carbs, or was the rebuild an attempt to fix the leak?

If the latter, I would suspect that your float has filled with gas. After 50 years the fuel migrates through the plastic so the float doesn’t close the valve. Holding the float up to a light will show if you have this problem. In that case you will want to replace the floats.
