Let me add a little more context to this discussion thread. The picture at the beginning of this post is from a donor carburetor. When I thread in the fitting in the donor it only goes about half way in before my calibrated elbow says we are snug. The picture in this photo shows the same fitting bottoming out as I have described above in the carburetor I am looking save. I’ve done all the work I can to ensure both halves of the carburetor are flush with each other before fitting in the gasket. What I have noticed is gasoline on the top lip of the air horn. Hope this helps clarify the input I am looking for. Thank you.
