Hey Brent,
I was in a similar situation after I rebuilt both
carbs and about a year later they were both leaking.
The leak was right where the tube meets the float boal
and due to crappy new rubber gaskets. I ordered 2 new
tubes (beacase I didn't know you could get the gaskets
separately) and it came with a note from Mo$$ saying
that new fuels may cause the rubber gaskets to soften
and leak! Although, the old ones probably lasted 30
years? I think they just got a bunch of sh*tty
gaskets cause the new ones don't leak at the moment.
Anyone got an aluminum MGB hood taking up space?
