What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Thanks RR!  Ahh ok our car must be missing that rather important part!  Thankfully my dad is a retired sheet metal worker so I'm sure he could fab one up!  Ill try to find a picture.

I did check the needle and with finger pressure it did hold the fuel back (despite having a good 2mm of play when fully depressed), but i suppose the float may not excerpt as much pressure as a finger?  

We checked the float and it didn't seem porous - there was no fuel sloshing in it.  The fuel was dripping from the throttle opening and not the rim of the float chamber however - i would assume this would be the leak point if the float/shutoff was faulty?
