    I have a Inline 6 carb. I was wondering if your carb leaks a little bit of gas at the bottom screw of the float bowl? mine does like a tiny bit the gasket doesnt seem to work very well and I did put some gasket sealer but still it leaks a small tiny bit!

    I have the same issue with mine. the bottom screw doesnt tighten all the way, im not sure if its too long or if the threads are striped. does yours tighten down? im going to try a new gasket.

    I used the gasket and then there is some gasket maker that the auto parts store has. It says you can use it to seal with gas I have some of that on it but would like it not to leak. 54customline if the threads are stripped take a look at the threads or you could tap it and rethread it I doubt the threads are striped cause it should just start to tighten up if it seats correctly. If it just spins in there then do what I said in the above hope this helps.
