Yesterday I hauled out my Tartan 34c on the club's Brownell Trailer
The gas was filled and stabilized a few days before.
The engine started well yesterday and ran well all season with a new carb and filters.
When after adjusting stands i went below to the cabin and smelled strong
gas fumes.
I am thinking that jolting during haulout may have stuck the
carb float or less likely, the very full tank sloshed out somewhere?
The fuel was left on during haulout and only shut off an hour or so later
when closing up the boat.
The fumes still remained this morning
I have had stuck floats due to fuel last 'season, but never this season
or so abruptly have yet to investgate
Suggestions appreciated.
