oukippy Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Hello, I'm back with my fuel leak problem. I noticed a potential problem on the carburetor which can be seen on the following picture : do you think it is possible to repair with the following repair kit and do you think I still can drive like that ? https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=987559&cc=1210138&jsn=2170 Edited February 25, 2020 by oukippy 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 That boot is just to keep dirt out of the accelerator pump. If the carburetor is running alright I wouldn't mess with it. Won't hurt to buy the rebuild kit for later. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Possibly but unless gas is being pushed out I wouldn't think so. Carburetors mix fuel and air... there's lots of places fumes can get out. There is often a gas smell on start up because the choke is on. The block vent pipe may be off or PCV not working. 1 Quote Link to comment
oukippy Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I didn't try to start the engine as I was alone and still learning more or less everything... I noticed that the bellows and everything underneath it was greasy or wet, that's why I thought it could be related to the smell. You're right, I'll take the rebuild kit anyway. It will help now or later. 1 Quote Link to comment
