Hi Ken, today the carb seems to have developed a leak. the base (black section) is wet and dripping but I cant tell from where. Strangley enough I also see a small leak (drip) at the f/pump outlet in the hose. truck will run for a short time and then quit. any thoughts? Ken

Send it back with the hose {should be a metal tubing} and any fittings for fuel pump and carb and brackets,i'll take care of it. ken ct/ are you running an elect FP or a new replacement pump.

Ken, I met to say leak at fuel pump is at inlet side in flexible line. the line from pump to carb is pipe but I had to remove the inlet fitting you provided since the existing fuel pipe wouldnt fit but did fit directly to carb body. do you think its a carb issue? it ran super until today. Ken
