carb help- leaking October 26 2008 at 5:12 PM		fakesnake.com (Login fakesnake.com) Members


Not very knowledgeable on carburators. I have a stock carburator on my 62 mercury with 352 FE. There is a rod that goes through the bottom of carb from driver side to passenger side. The driver side connects to throttle and the passenger side connects to electric choke. The problem is I can see gas seeping out where passenger side rod meets carburator housing when I move the throttle. Is there a seal there that keeps fuel from leaking?
