Here's a puzzler for the net wisdom. My brother is having a problem with
leaky
carbs on his 61 MGA. They're the stock MG HS carbs. He's replaced the
gaskets
with kits from Moss and tightened them down as much as he dares. They still
leak
at the black rubber gasket on the bottom of the carb body where the float
bowl
extention attaches. The washer looks like a two step faucet washer thing.
The gas is not spewing out, but it's dripping enough to be moist under there
and you
can smell gas from the driver's seat. This is a bad thing on a fresh $15k
restoration.
I've visually inspected the car, but was not present when the gaskets were
replaced.
any ideas
