The carb I had rebuilt still seeps ever so slightly around the gasket in the middle. The linkage need replacing anyway and this was the second or third or fourth rebuild on this carb before I go it, I am sure. I just know that this carb is going to be trouble. It is nice to have a bit later engine which I am sure is a recent rebuild. I am thinking of A/C (I am in Florida) after a repaint and so I want to settle any performance issues first. Thanks.
