water drops on throttle plates

[searay_89]

I asked this question in a different thread.
But now i'll ask directly.

After running for 15 minutes, when I shut the motor off, i see beads of water on the throttle plates. these are beads, so it's not fuel.

Is this normal?

where is it coming from?

thanks.

Re: water drops on throttle plates

Condensation. Carb and throttle plates are cold from the air/fuel mixture being drawn across them. Sometimes, they can ice over, too!
