intake fuel leak
Every time I fly, I get fuel showing up at the intake flange bolts below the forward carb on my 582. It drips and blows around and makes a mess. My first thought is that I have a leaky o ring so I've got those on order, but in the mean time I pulled my carbs and noticed what you can see in the attached picture. There is a lot of raw fuel sitting in the intake throat in that forward carb, and yet not in the rear one. This doesn't seem like a coincidence. Any thoughts? Is it normal to see fuel sitting there?
