Is My Carb Broken?

[Will Eastman 6]

Hey just taken my air filtre... off and seen this

notice the bend in the carb, is this a particular problem??

The carb was pretty damn oily so duno if this is where the oil/petrol might be leaking out.

thanks

Does the engine run? If it does then theres nothing wrong with the carb.

I wonder if that is where the screw on the jubilee clip that holds the air ducting to the carb would normally sit and some numpty has tightened it so much it's deformed the case?!

 

I wouldn't worry too much about that to be honest.

Don't try to straighten it or you'll break it.

 

If it's running ok i'd just leave it.

about 4 of mine in the past have been a bit bent in the same place, nothing to worry about
