Re: New Holley carb, gas leak at fuel inlet
First off, don't use teflon tape on flare fittings!
Makes them leak. They seal on the flare, not the threads.
If you have a fitting that doesn't seal well, then you gotta move a little metal.
Snug it up, back it off, snug it up a little further, back it off again and then snug it up a little further yet. The flare heats up a little and the mating surfaces seat togethor.
You might need to do it several times.
We used to call that 'lapping'!
