Hi jeffro,i understand that this job is a pain in the a-but treat it as a challangeas a learning curve.do as grumpy sugested and also take off the primer cap and thoroughly clean the outer edge and inside the carby housing where the "o" ring sits.check or replace the o ring,if they are a little off line when you put the cap back on or tiny cracks/perrishing they will leak.also the horizontal line on the face of the cap has to be horizontal to make the float level work correctly.i appoligise if you already know/have done this...ken
