Yup, using 2 olives (brass) is how I got mine to stop leaking.

Noticed that the nut on the inlet still shows a few threads when fully tightened and that connection doesnt leak.   I can try bringing in a new nut with the correct part no.  I have new olives.  I found a 1/2 20  unf male with 1/4'hose barb fitting at McMaster Carr.  Rare stuff unavailable locally.   If that fitting would work I would run 1/4 rubber fuel hose from the pump over to the carb setup and eliminate the nut, olive and metal tube.    Thoughts and experience?   Thank you.   Bruce.  73 tr6
