[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 106088, member: 2010"] A friend had the constant leaking on a Comet and he asked me to have a look at it, the carb was tilted raising the level too much and it was seeping through the pilot screw threads, after I'd levelled up the carb it was still seeping a tiny amount, I made up a bottom banjo bolt with a clear pipe which I ran up the side of the carb, it needed the float chamber lowering, it's no good getting the level right in the float chamber it needs to be right in relation to the carb.
