[T3] Weber carbs

[Dave Hall]

I guess vibration and the weight of the hose on the spigot.

You need those tight in there, or you risk an engine fire if one drops out.
I think the recommendation is to reinsert with expoxy (eg Araldite), but
I've not needed it on mine yet, so have no experience of the repair.

Subject: [T3] Weber carbs

   In my monkeying around with my squareback the other day, I noticed that
the fuel line connections into both carbs (Weber 34ICT) were able to
"swivel" in the carb, if that makes any sense. The fuel lines are tight on
the fittings with hose clamps, so it seems the fittings are loose in the
carbs? I have not messed around with those connections in quite awhile, so I
assume they've been like that for a while. When I ran the car today, the
passenger side fuel line was getting moist at the connection with the
carb.... couldn't get a good look at the other one due to impaired
visibility. How could these have loosened over time???
