The rebuilt carb I recently got through my FLAPS had the input connection
threads repaired with a heli-coil. The fitting seems to fit very well and I
wrapped the threads with 3 or 4 wraps of teflon tape, but still weeps fuel
from around the fitting. I have torqued this thing down firmly, but still a
weep. It is not the gasket, it is weeping around the fitting. What can I
do? I'm almost afraid to use any type of sealer that might get into the main
or idle jets. Anyone else had this happen? How do you seal heli-coils?
