The threaded hole on the right is where the base screw comes into the carb body. The hole to the right goes through the body and though a hole in the base. When the metering plate is bolted on the back side of the power valve is in this cavity. I have put on a new body to base gasket, new metering block gasket and new power valve gasket. Any suggestions? 7042549-leakingcarb007.JPG (146 downloads) Last edited by chris3; 01/29/12 11:34 AM.
