Re: [T3] ATF leak clarifications


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Well, I certainly didn't start the engine (it doesn't work when the carbs
are taken off).

To be honest, I have no idea where the governor is or what it looks like,
but this certainly gives me somewhere to start looking. I pulled the fuel
line out downwards from the bottom of the car. I suppose it could have
knocked something off on the way down.

My apocalyptic hypothesis is this: Fuel was leaking through the hose for 15
years, and gradually dissolved some rubber seal somewhere. However, the
actual hose itself continued to block the leak. When I removed the hose it
all started splurting out. I hope I'm wrong.
