C2 Fuel leak

[Leonard Gionet]

I have a 66 BB and I found a gas leak and bubbles between carburetor base and the intake manifold. I tightened the carb base bolts but no help. Does this mean I have a warped intake manifold? Are there any remedies like using two gaskets?

Re: C2 Fuel leak

There should be no liquid gas getting into that area, if the carb is working correctly. What you have is gas leaking into the carb venturies and running down there. You should also check the arrangement of the gaskets. There should be a SS plate next to the carb. Bubbles in that area are an indication of exhaust cross over leakage.
