Thanks Rich. Indeed, from my readings avoiding fuel vapor issues is the principal reason for the fuel return valve. Fortunately, I'm in a part of the SF Bay area that does not get wicked hot often. Maybe 10 days tops, if that. And, it's been ages since I've been in frightfully long lines to get into Laguna Seca or Sears Point.

No, in the short-term I need to stop this fuel leaking. If I need to get a new/old carb (about $200-300) that can wait.

Unless, I hear better ideas I'll go the plug-n-plod route.

Still open to ideas. Thanks!
