fresh carb rebuild and airhorn gasket seeping gas

<< < (2/2)

shadetree55:
I get that but what would low pressure have to do with gas seeping around the air horn gasket??

quadrajam:
Might be a good time to set up a pressure gage on fuel line and monitor it.
Then you'd know which way to go. Make sure to watch it for a few minutes
after a hot shutdown also.

Cliff Ruggles:
Did you get your rebuild kit from me?

I stock .015" thicker main body to airhorn gaskets which help sealing up carbs that seep at the front between the center screw and long hold down bolts.....

shadetree55:
no I didn't. At the time I didn't know about your kit. I did readjust the float to .375 and at the same time installed a new Delphi pump because I thought maybe the precision pump might be too much pressure. Evidently not because I installed the delphi pump which was "supposed' to be a 5-7 psi pump. Evidently it wasn't because my carb flooded like crazy with it. Removed it and reinstalled the precision and all seems to be well now. If it acts up again I'm just gonna yank it and send it to you. Tired of fooling with it.

Cliff Ruggles:
Before you do all that put one of my rebuild kits in it and the .015" thicker main body to airhorn gasket......
