I wanted to Post this in the Gallery section, but I kept getting the Error Message advising I have to have at least one image. What the???? I had these above images and, no matter what order I put them within the Post, being Top, middle or bottom, it still came up with the same error message.... Oh well, at least I got to Post my Tecumseh 2-Stroke somewhere on the Forum. :-)
Anyhow, the leak in the fuel line at the intake elbow was fixed with Araldite 5-minute expoxy.
The worst thing with the carby, was the little spring inside to keep pressure on the float. I guess it must have something to do with the revs of a 2-stroke as it is not used on the 4-stroke carburetor. I lost it for several months, but found it again out of pure luck. Pulled the carbie back off, gave it another clean, installed the spring back onto the float and fuel leak from primer has albeit ceased. Just seems to have a slight weep. Maybe a new seat is needed????
