Gas Leaking in 2 places

[ncfootballchamp]

The gas from my fuel tank is leaking in 2 places. All that I have is the black tube that came with the kit im using connected from the nozzle from the filter to the nozzle on the carb.

What can I do to stop the leaking? (I DO have teflon tape around the connector from the filter to the tank)

I circled the 2 areas where there are leaks in the pic below

Thanks for the help

I would use hose clamps. Can cut off the excess to neaten it up a bit. 99 cents or so at a hardware store

do you mean one of these?

Yes those- also the connection at the top looks like it isn't pushed in, and the hose looks cut crooked.

Also some gasket sealer may help- gasket sealer on the carb threads helps with leaks there too. A thin plastic gasket cut from some container lid to size and placed UNDER the rubber cap gasket will stop leaks there too.

Good catch Kat. Your right

If a clamp will not fit in the area of the leak, use a small zip tie. I used a zip tie where my fuel line meets the carb

Seal-All worked great for me

Use a smaller hose (like the one that comes with the engine kits)

Or you can use those pink overflow tubes off your CNS carb there. Fuel line is pretty cheap at a motorcycle shop.

I like Corbin Clamps better than screw type clamps.
They seal more evenly around the fuel line.
Get them at any NAPA store.You also want to put an inline filter on there.Kip.
