Chaps
Yes, I soaked the cork seals in engine oil for 24 hours and double checked
that the chamfered brass washers (above and below) were sited the right way
round.
Can I just check that, even though the fuel seems to be leaking from the main
part of the carb, most folks thinks it is almost certainly due to a leak back
in the float chamber (needle valve or float)?
Thanks again
Paul

Rich -
The cork seals for the H series carbs are supposed to be soaked in motor oil
for 24 hours prior to assembly to prevent them from losing their seal after a
few miles of use. If you use water they can start leaking after a couple
months.
Cheers,
Alan
