[TR] FW: SU leaks

[wbeech]

List,

Exactly the problem I had with mine this past summer, wet but not dripping
fuel.  Please include me in your response to Scott.

Thanks,

ideas.  TIA

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?
