While I followed Barney’s tightening recommendation, I still seem to be leaking there and possibly at the flex tubing connection, and I really cranked good, to the point of no more turning. Still a little on the bowl to carb body underneath on one side with all new rubbers there. I took apart and ensured that the bits were correctly ordered in the bodies with new corks, oiled and t-shirt scrubbed jets. I guess a little more finagling. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>C<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Peter Chast [mailto:pchastnow@gmail.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, August 21, 2016 7:30 PM<br><b>To:</b> crk@godblessthe.us; MG list <mgs@autox.team.net><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Mgs] carb leaks that shouldn't be happening<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>copper gaskets like a brake line?<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Sun, Aug 21, 2016 at 10:28 PM, Peter Chast <<a href="mailto:pchastnow@gmail.com" target="_blank">pchastnow@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><p class=MsoNormal>copper gaskets like a brake line?<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Sun, Aug 21, 2016 at 3:52 PM, Clayton Kirkwood via Mgs <<a href="mailto:mgs@autox.team.net" target="_blank">mgs@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks Barney.
