area under the carburetor 63 cdv

[Kim K Kaiser]

for a while now,, i have noticed in that area under the carburetor, I'm guessing the top of the intake manifold,, gunk, grit, or combination of oil and dirt..  it doesnt seem to be a leaking type leak just an accumulation of dirt and some oil,,, its hard to clean out under neath there, i have reached around the back and tried to get off and out as much as i could and my hand would not quite fit under there, 

so i am wondering, would that be a likely manifold gasket leak, or a leak at the bottom of the carburetor,,as stated,, its not like a leak that drains you can follow from top to bottom,,,,just look ing at getting a list of things to do as spring and summer approach here,, it was 1 degree today, so I'm sure not gonna bust any knuckles for a few weeks,, just looking to get a summer plan together,,,

any thoughts on this

ok.  looking for some hi 20s later in week,, so may try to get it out for a ride,,, it did start after the winter nap the other day,, took a couple turn overs,, but got going and idled nicely,,  

i will try to get it cleaned up, and start checking again to see possible sources you outlined above..i know where that pvc valve is so i will give it a wiggle.

haven't replaced carb,, seems to be working ok, or has been before the winter nap,,

believe it or not.... I replaced the hose today from the pcv to the carb spacer. My hose became like my bum, it ended up with a crack that leaked air. LOL PMSL :-)

I washed the pcv out in some petrol and gave it a blow job with the air line.
