 > > >      I noticed that your throttlebody appears to terminate at a slightly downward tilt, similar to mine.  Please keep me posted regarding your experiences with the fuel drip that tends to come from the throttlebody right after engine shutdown. I now shut my fuel pump off and let the engine die from fuel exhaustion, but I still get the drips.   < < <   Hi, Rusty.....I have tried turning off my fuel pump at 1000 rpm, and at 2500 rpm.  I could see no apparant difference in the amount of fuel drips after shutdown. Then, after I shut down the pump and let the engine die, I immediately pressed the starter button, with the fuel pumps off line, figuring the engine would suck the remaining fuel into the engine rather than let it drip onto the floor. Wrong.  It still dripped about the same.  Puzzling, as I expected the fuel to be sucked into the intakes and eliminate the after shut-down drips. (sounds like a disease....the after shut-down drips)... I will let you know if I stumble upon any other solutions. I'm relatively certain that my mixture is too rich. Possibly after I take care of that, it will be less of an issue. Take care. Paul Conner, still suffering from ASDD (After Shut-Down Drips).
