Yes. I've looked at Barney's web page, verified my carb assembly is correct
w/ exception of possibly two copper washers inside the assembly. I've
mighty-torqued:<) the hose to bowl top and the hose to banjo joints with
limited success. I tightened the bowl to carb pieces  largely with success
but still have leakages. The fiber washers on the lipped banjo to hose
connections are seeming a bit wide to fit well inside the lip. I'll try
grinding the outer diameter down to fit in better.

Where are you having the leaking problem? The gas line banjo bolt seals, the
float bowl mounting bolt or the jet assembly?

My 62mga is having drinking problems. I put new fiber seals on I my carbs
and they are leaking. I dare not tighten any further as they are obviously
brass vs aluminum. Any suggestions? Should I soak the fibers in oil?
