I got it to fire off today, Only ran it for a few seconds, but I have ALOT of fuel leaks. Coming out from the sediment bowl, from the fuel line between the 2 as well as out of the carb bowl. I am at the point of almost giving up on these Carbs. I rebuild them and they still leak, now obviously I am doing something wrong but i put the gasket where the old ones were and so forth... idk, it pisses me off when you put it back on and it leaks like a siv.

I ordered a new sediment bowl and another carb rebuild kit. I am in need of a fuel line though, I suppose I could make one and get some tubing and flair the ends instead of the press fittings, anyone know where to get those gaskets for inside each end of the fuel line...?

Enough Rambling, Thanks for reading!

You'll get it, Cory.

Send me a pic of what you have. My guess is you can get what you need at an auto parts store or plumbing supply

cory, my original has a new piece of fuel line with the two nuts and fittings on the end made the line is made out of brake line the auto parts can sell u 2 metal ferrows instead of rubber grommets and it will work mine does not leak

Cory,

My 100 leaked like a sieve between the fuel sediment bowl and the fuel tank. Tried everything - new bowl, teflon tape, then Permatex #2. Nothing would keep it from leaking. Then I used JB Weld. No more leaks. For what its worth.

Well, I got it to fire off and stay running using another carb I have and gas NOT starting fluid. I got all of the leaks to stop except for the fuel bowl on the carb. It is leaking where the bolt goes in... I am just so frustrated with it at this point. I took the bowl out of another carb... one that doesn't have that little push button on the bottom because It was leaking from that. I got the fuel line to stop leaking and I bought a new sediment bowl.

I got the clutch disks freed up as well as the governor. Now I need to get a muffler because it is LOUD! Im just worried that the pipe that is there may not screw onto the muffler because they are all gone.
