MG MGA - Carburettor overflow pipes

Cousin Mark from the USA!! That was the thread I had seen earlier. Details are essential in a Concourse. Thank you mate, I had lost it but saved by the Gannon family network!!! Barry

Further to the above, I have read Barney's chapter regarding the positioning of the pipes.
I then checked mine, and find that one float chamber has an overflow pipe connected to the other chamber, and only one pipe running down the side of the engine.

Also, I always thought that earl B's had the same carns, but apparantly this is not so.

That's quaint, If you connect the overflow pipe of carb A to the overflow pipe of carb B, then connect B to drain on ground, a fault and overflow in carb A will also flood the float chamber on carb B.
