[Healeys] FW: Carb. Fiber Washer Question - Jag - not healey

[Dave Porter]

Also if leaking from the top of the aux. carb it's likely that the float
bowl level is too high or not shutting off when full...

Jonas -

I have a '59 Mk IX with twin HD6s + the starter carb.  It is very similar in
set up & age to your XK 150.

The fibre washers will eventually seal, you just have to tighten them with a
little twist, probably twice over a couple of months/500 miles type of
thing.  I figure it's easier to tighten them up then pull the bloody thing
apart again and use sealant.
