Reply to "Carb Fuel Leak - Need Some Help"

LeonChupp

I've done a repair on a similar problem that may be applicable..... Prep, cleanliness, and patience are the key factors ...... I had a fuel leak on a rice burner that would require massive amounts of cubic rectangular green to repair at the dealer service dept...... The carb had a "pin hole" in it's top cover......

I lightly sandedthe area. (220 grit) Cleaned it with lacquer thinner. Rinsed it with alcohol, twice. Then applied Dow Corning Silicone rubber to the area. waited 48hrs. for the cure and drove the vehicle 90,000+ miles....

Today, a really good option might be one of the silicone gasket cements.....

Just a thought....
