But the fuel seems to run back from the carb, too, so I lose a bunch of gas in any event. My gasket does not seem to be so beat up. I suspect it has a valley pressed into it which is no longer lined up with the bowl - or in other words - the gasket has lost its elasticity. The original gasket must have been cork, and I wonder if cork might be better. I've got some cork material lying around, maybe I'll try making a new gasket.
