How oh how do I stop fuel leaking from the banjo joint to the float bowl on
the front carb? These are the original type TR2 carbs with the rigid pipework,
I did not want to use the braided flexible pipe supplied by most. Where the
bolt passes through the banjo and into the float bowl lid, always drips. I
have changes the fibre washers several times, I have tightened, loosened all
to no avail. Is there a rubber alternative to these washers? I made up this
pipework myself, by soldering new pipe to the original banjos, but I am
positive the leak is around the banjo seals.
Regards
John
