The leaks. There is a large bolt and a tapered washer with a cork gasket/seal on the bottom of the carb. That's where the leaks were comming from. Went back to cork seal rather than O ring as the o rings were not quite the right size it seems and I could not find a really right one. It needs to seal around the thread area thus the taper to force it in against the threads/bolt thing.

We shall see but has been holding for several hours now.
 
YAY! Everything I've two of I've crossed in hopes that works!

...well mebbe not *everything* /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
Ditto!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif No Runs, No Drips, No Errors??
 
Still no leak or seep, dry. Chokes work fine and pistons drop like rocks with oil in them.

Raining here, so will not pull out and run, but I bet it would just fine and I can finaly get it tuned.
 
Still no leaks, weeps, or seeps.
 
If it went that long, chances are it's "fixed"!!
 
yep think so dock. Raining hard here. Will try to fire her tomorrow, if weather permits and she runs a bit will set carbs and timeing and have that done for awile.
