Scott, can you post this for me?

 

 

SU leaks.  I rebuilt my TR3 H-Series SU carburetors and they both leaked
around the jet assembly.  So I replaced the cork seal, after soaking it in
oil, a second time and then used the Moss Motors O-Ring (leak-free
replacement for the small cork seal), but they still leak.  I am certain
that I have them assembled correctly.  They do not appear to be dripping,
but the jet assembly is always wet with fuel.  Any suggestions?
