gas leakage

Well I hope that in some small way I may have helped. However I did leave out one small but vital fact. You will probably (OK definately) destroy the gasket between the carburetter and the elbow and I should have told you to purchase a new one first. Still all is not lost. I use a liquid gasket and I particularly like Mega Grey because it is grey and when it oozes out of the joint it matches the color of the engine parts. You can get it at any auto part store.
Good Luck

Had the same issue here with an 89 2 stroker. Not hard to get the carb off once you decide it's gonna happen

Make sure you work over a clean wide open surface...like a newspaper covered table or something. When you remove bowl and then the pin that holds the float to get at the needle valve and then remove the needle from the seat both the pin that holds the float and the needle like to try to hide and make your life miserable. A clean and clear workspace makes that rather difficult.

BTW.. The cart I was working on was one I picked up for nothing from a friend of mine...He and a "mechanic" friend of his couldn't get it to run. He was going to try to trade it in on a newer model but nobody wanted it so he gave it to me. All it needed was new fuel lines, new fuel filter and a carb cleaning and *poof* .. Free cart
