<p>even amazon carries a variety of real BUNA rubber, and / or viton
o-rings that can handle the ethanol in gas these days.<br>
Just measure and order.</p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D">I had fuel leaking
from the plastic plugs on the bottom of the carbs on the GT6
MK lll that we used to own. The raw fuel would land right on
top of the starter. A call to Joe Curto resulted in a pair
of replacement O-Rings arriving in the mail. He mentioned
that the rubber used in standard O-Rings doesn’t hold up
well with today’s gasoline. That solved the problem for us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">TR6 - The bottom of the carbs have gas on
them; I can feel it when I run my fingers along the bottom.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Replaced all the bottom stuff a few years
ago. TR6 was driven from Dallas to Reno in April; no gas
smell in daughter’s garage in Reno. Was driven in May and
August in Reno (see Hot August Nights!) but no smell. Was
driven from Reno to Taos to Dallas; seems like that is when
the problem started.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts on where I should start? Its
probably either the seal in the float chamber or the seal on
the very bottom? If I put a mirror down there what am I
looking for?<o:p></o:p></p>
