Hi I just replaced the jet assembly on the aft carb on my 1966 spitfire . I 
am having trouble sealing the float bowl to jet tube . At first I had the nut 
nice and tight , It worked for a shot time but then started to leak . As I 
backed off the nut the leak slowed down but is still leaking . Is this a 
common problem ? Anyone have any tips on how to solve this ?                    
                                                                                
            thanks
