I am looking for a Stewart Carburetor for my '27 DB. The original was made by Detroit Lubricator Co. When the car is shut down after running gas continues to fill the bowl and of course it leaks out. It seems the needle valve does not seat properly in the bowl. :?: any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.
Hope everyone is safe and well

Rick

Have you tried Myers or Romar? I think they both sell the new seats, no need to replace.

Had STEWART-DETROIT rebuilt at Meyers and well worth investment.

If a carb repair kit is available that's your best bet. If not, lapping the needle and seat with an abrasive cleaner such as Ajax or Comet may do the trick. Take care to wash off all traces of the abrasive.
Even "fine" valve lapping compound is too coarse for a carburretor seat.
