Hi Mike,
Either renew the jets complete with the little rubber O ring that forms
the seal between the float bowl and jet tube. But make sure that the old
O ring has been removed, mine was leaking due to having two o rings@!!
Or carefully tighten the nut (ferrule) holding the pipe to the bowl, but
be careful not to pull the thread..
Cheers
Tim
