Thanks
There was a small tubular fan which blew fresh air over the carburettor when you turned the engine off to prevent the fuel from boiling from the heat of the engine . Also there should be a black plastic spacer between manifold and carburettor for the same reasons ..
That for a carburettor equipped engine .
If you have fuel injection or the B18U engine then it could be the residual fuel pressure leaking away when you turn the engine off.

I assume it is ok from cold and only plays up if you try to restart after 20 minutes or so after turning it off?
