Carb problem
Hey I forgot to say,please don't drive your car until you fix the gas leak!
That's a disaster just waiting to happen.
Is it leaking at the fittings where the fuel line attaches to the carb?
That's the usual place.If so,it's frequently the result of the fuel line being
removed and replaced many times over the years.The flare fitting gets
crushed and hardened over the years and can't make a seal.Cutting the
flare off and re-flaring the new end usually fixes it.Use a tubing cutter only
(no hacksaw)and make sure no metal particles are in the line when re-attaching to the carb.
Your carb may not need to be rebuilt at all if it runs and idles well.
That's plenty of carb for your engine in stock form.
I'm not positive but I was thinking that your engine came with a Carter
model WCFB carb on it.Do you see a name and model # on it,or maybe on
a small metal tag?
