Re: Newb with 52 Pick up

Questions for you guys. I seem to have a fuel leak right by the carb. I noticed the brass nut fitting had a crack in it, so I replaced that, but still leaking. The fitting that attaches directly to the carb seems to have standard 1/4 on the line side and the treads look slightly smaller and tighter on the carb side.

The leak seems to be coming from the carb attached side.

Were this water, my next move would be to put some plumber tape around the treads. But being gas, that doesn't seem like a great idea.

I was going to replace the fitting directly on the carb but local hardware doesn't seem to have one that looks just like it with the slightly smaller carb side.

Any ideas on where I might pick one up? Is this even the right way to attache the fuel line? Seems a little janky way of doing it to me.
