Don:
The safety article struck a chord and since you didn't crash in the Arctic, I feel it my duty to not explode on the Puget Sound.
Here's the issue: The little compession fitting on the bottom of the carburator that returns excess fuel to the block persistently dribbles. The tube connecting to the block is solid copper (or some such metal) making it very hard to remove and line back up to get a secure seal. I am convinced the connector is just in crummy shape. What replacement part exists that can replace this antiquated component. I would love something more easily flexed and that gives a very positive seal so I do not have to this case of "post carburator drip".
