Thanks for the tip Mike, I'll have to try that out, since, my other carb is leaking. One question, I really had to torque down the bolts (in a star pattern) before the gasket would stop wiggling in the middle. I guess this kind of proves that the halves are warped?
I also still have a leak out of the throttle slide where the leather plunger is, and tips on why a new plunger would leak?


It's my first 51!
