Question is which rubber seal goes in the bottom of the plastic peice that keeps fuel from leaking into the intake? I have three different ones in the kit. One set has ribs on it another is a little thicker and no ribs and the third is an "O" ring. Which set should I use?

What I notice is the engine is slightly fuel loaded on restarts after sitting for about 15 to 30 minutes. Also, the carb will be empty of fuel if I let sit for more than 2 days. I am gonna check it. Thanks, Roger

Thanks, Roger You have one or both jet wells leaking. Those are the exact symptons you described. Do like 1 Wild RT says to fix the problem. I always used the ribbed condoms oops I mean o-rings too. 1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD 1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.
