Howdy...have a small leak coming out of that small crossover tube, between the front and back halves of the subject carburetor..
It sits over a connecting bolt to the inlet manifold and has been jared a few times..which bent it some..All that keeps the gas in is a small O ring and the fit into the body. Not a tight fit between the sides, probably a 1/16" slop..but I think the small bend is enough that it just isn't seating correctly..
Have it pretty straight now and haven't put the carb back into the truck but not optimistic it will stop leaking..
My question is any advice..the O ring is in ok shape, but I was wondering about coating the outside, 1/4" from the ends (small bump flange on both ends which the O ring sits behind) with a gas resistant sealer..maybe like you'd put on threads..Understanding the risk for getting into the gas..
