I hope there's a fix for this.
Last year, I bought the rebuild kit from SOR for my stock 1bbl carb and everything has seemed to work fairly well since then. Lately, I've noticed fuel leaking from it during and after operation. It seems that it is coming from around the window and there is a spot where the rubber gasket is deforming and getting sucked in behind the glass. I tried swapping back the old rubber that was in there and that lasted about a week and is also getting sucked/pushed in.
What am I doing wrong?
Am I tightening the metal bezel too tightly? Too loosely?
Should I use some sort of adhesive to keep it in place?
If this is letting air in, how much difference could that make in performance?
Please forgive my ignorance. I'm learning what I can as I go.
Thanks in advance.
