    But, the inlet to the carb is at the highest point on the carb. Anti-gravity petrol? It just doesn’t seem possible. It couldn’t maybe slowly drain into the cylinders, could it? But if it did that, it should drain out the line on the intake but it doesn’t do that since there’s no pool of petrol on the ground and if they did do that, wouldn’t Tractions be known for it? if I drive mine every day they start instantly with no pumping of the lever, more than a day of sitting, then I have to. The fuel can’t possibly evaporate that fast. I’ve been home recently recovering from surgery so I have time to ponder such an imponderable.
