My 68 has developed a very slight hesitation lately and I raised the hood yesterday to check for anything amiss , like a vacuum hose off or cracked. What I saw was a very bad fuel leak where the fuel line screws into the front of the carb. It's hard to tell if the big nut that screws directly into carb or the smaller nut that screws into the bigger nut. Fuel is running off of both of them at a pretty good clip. I have put two new gaskets on the big one and it hasn't helped a thing, that's why I think it may be the smaller one. When I was at the parts store I noticed they had a tube of thread sealent that was not affected by gas[supposed not to be]. I don't want to put anything on the threads that could find its way into the carb and gum something up. It almost appears that one of the nuts may be cracked. Cliff rebuilt the carb about three years ago and it has been perfect , so I don't want to mess up his excellent work. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike
