Hi, Long story short, I took apart my float bowl on a new Holley 2300 mdl, 500cfm 2BBL Street Avenger series Carb and finally reset the float to desired level (I think it should be half way up the glass view window according to the manual?) , but now I cant get the locking screw to stop weeping gas (fuel in Oz!) out from it's gasket that I had to make... I've tried making a few different thickness gaskets, tried wrenching down a little harder etc., but to no avail... Before I go to the speed shop tomorrow to start throwing a parts cannon at it, can anyone shed any light on what I've done wrong? All was perfect, until I took it apart, and entirely messed with the adjustments incorrectly, before taking the time to learn how to properly adjust it! The float now seems to be holding steadily at the desired level, and I can adjust it as desired etc, and it's not leaking gas from anywhere ekse (this is after I destroyed the original Holley Fuel Bowl gasket, and replaced it with a Fuel Miser brand (that seems much better quality - for the record)... thanks in advance!
