...I'm with Phil on this...that brass fitting is not doing ANY sealing (so forget the teflon sealing tape idea)...the brass fitting strictly compresses the o-ring...and it's not round in cross-section, it's actually square as I recall. When you loosen the brass fitting, and extracted the fuel tube, those rubber sealing rings like to stay in the hole...so check for it there...extract and inspect...they're small and get beat up easilly.

I carefully cut one out of 3/16" (or there abouts) fuel line one time in a pinch.

An exploded diagram of the carb might help. Maybe someone can post one...otherwise I'll try to later.

Good Luck
