Default Re: Zenith 1 Carburetor leak trouble

I've read every document I can find on these carbs and followed all the pointers for care and cleaning. Carefully checked to confirm where the leak originates. It's the plug. Some kind of gas proof sealant might do the trick. Can someone recommend something like that or another remedy?

Note: I am running Renners jets, all gaskets are new, and the float valve setting is spot on. I am at a loss for what else to try, and will welcome any suggestions.

Thanks.
Make sure your jet is tight with one gasket! One gasket on plug tight!
