Arrgh! My fuel capacitors (float bowls) are leaking. These have the two
rubber "grommet halves" to "seal" the carb to bowl connection. I have
replaced the rubber things. If I tighten up (ob. Archie Bell reference)
the bolt all the way (F. Sinatra, F. Zappa) it squeezes the grommets and
still leaks. If I loosen it a just a little bit (Aretha) it seals
better and leaks _slower_. Should I try some kind of sealant or what?
