Well I tried crank my car up for the first time in exactly one year today. Note the car ran perfectly when I took the engine out at the onset of resto. Well tried turning the car over and immediatley smelt gasoline. Looked at the carbs no sign of leaking, then the fuel pump and I found gas leaking from all around the domed upper housing. I did not take the pump apart at any point all I did was lightly clean it off with steel wool. It appears that the gasket under the dome would be bad. Has anyone had much experience with servicing these pumps? The rebuild kits seem ridiculously expensive from moss an VB.
