    Hello Folks
    My carb seams to be leaking gas.
    It looks like 2 places one around the bolts were the carb attaches to the motor, and second at the top of the carb. Does this sound like seals or a new carb?
    Thanks for the help

    Yes, and --um No

    Sounds like your float is malfunctioning and oozing gas everywhere.

    Don't be afraid of a carb. I I have a Rochester Q-jet 4bbl in pieces right now and it isn't as scary as I thought going into it. A two barrel is cake!
