Rear carb drips fuel while running and for a few minutes after shut off.  Could this be a classic case of stuck float?  An over zealous fuel pump?  Had a rusty fuel tank which I have now replaced.  Any help would be welcome. (You'll note I'm a newbie here.  However I did own several Triumphs as daily drivers way back in my college years, mainly TR4As with SUs, and one TR250.)  Thanks!

You don't say where the leak is from. There is a plug on the bottom of the bowl, sealed by an O-ring. That is the first thing I would check. If that is the leak, replace the O-ring and things should be good.

Thanks.  Fuel was not leaking from the lower seal.  Whatever it was it seems to have rectified itself (for now).
