I visited this a while ago... my 400 has an intermittent drip from the carb.
I thought from the throttle thingy but now I am fairly confident it is coming from the choke shaft.
So do I change the carburator or will a rebuild kit fix it?
Rusty said fuel will leak into the oil if it is from the throttle shaft and I think I smell gas in the oil. Sure glad he told me or I would have been clueless.
Definitely belches black smoke trying to start. Some cylinders are firing slowly and the rest seem to join in. I have to keep the throttle to it's full stop until it starts going.
Anyway, what does the black smoke indicate and what about the leak?
In other news it seems to miss a bit (that little cough noise) once in awhile, I checked the rotor and I think it would help to get another. I cleaned the rotor and the distributor contacts and I think it helped a little.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?").
