<div>When I've had that problem with carb banjos, first I've faced either side
of the banjo on fine wet & dry on a sheet of glass. I have tried annealing
copper washers with a small propane torch, but it's easy to end up with a blob
of copper! When all else fails, I use blue Hylomar sealant.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Anyhow, I took the bolt out and found a copper washer on
either side of the union. Much as I’d expected. These washers looked pretty
tired so I replaced them. Made no difference. I could get another half turn once
the engine had warmed up, but it still seeped......</p></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
