Paul,

Did you find anything wrong with your carb?

		   Hi All,



 I have a Europa with a Rotax 914.  I had the engine in at LEAF last year to

 have them work on an oil leak due to crank case fretting.  While the engine

 was there I had them overhaul the carbs.



 Ever since that time I have had a fuel smell which is a common issue with

 Europa's.  For quite a long time I assumed that it was new fuel hoses that I

 installed and I was slowly going through the process of eliminating each

 source with no success.  Finally I resorted to putting in UV fuel dye and I

 discovered that the starboard carb was covered with dye.



 Pulling the carbs of a 914 is a bit of a pain and before I do so I'd like

 some suggestions of what would cause a fuel leak at full power.



 Thanks in advance,  Paul
