Per the other thread, the large fitting is sealed with the gasket/washer, the threads do not seal that type of fitting, a fuel filter is behind the fitting. The small fitting is inverted flare, as Otto has noted, two wrenches squeezed together should break it loose. Be gentle with the big fitting, the soft casting of the carburetor is easily damaged if the fitting is over-tightened, that is the purpose of the soft washer/gasket.
