Carb Leaking From Fuel Inlet - Help!

Best Answer MiniMoe2008 , 19 February 2018 - 09:55 PM

Just want to make sure is it the hose leaking or the fitting from the carb? I've had to use loctite medium blue grade. Link below. I've also used in a pinch plumbers tape. Not the greatest but better than leaking everywhere.

The Tube is either cast in or pressed. I've had a couple leak and if that's what was found leaking, that's what I was suggesting removing, and refitting with the loctite (even though it's listed as a thread locking compound, it will also seal press fit fittings like these).

 

I can't see it being the needle and seat or it's thread.

Yup I got what you were saying, though I see no way to remove the tube.

 

I'll just settle with applying threadlocker blue all round it. It will soon be 24 hours since i first applied it. fingers crossed that the leak is fixed. Then i can get back to bringing my engine back to life!

Leak appears fixed! The threadlocker appears to have done the job. I dont see any fuel leaks now.
 

Also got the engine started now, runs rough and dies easily, but at least it starts and runs if you leave it at a high rev!

 

One problem down, one more to go!

 

Cheers guys!
