    In the process of rebuilding my Weber DCNFs on a 77 308 I noticed that when I open the throttle one carb has a leak out the top of the accelerator pump jet. Looks like it just needs a little sealant of some type, anyone fixed one of these b4? Silicone? Liquid Solder? JB WELD? Chewing Gum?
    thanks

    Check to see if the little metal washer is there on both sides of the jet I believe - sometimes folks forget about that on installation. Easy to get a soft metal washer; using a sealant may come free and clog the jet or passageways - they are tiny passageways, but precise.

    If the leak is from a flaw in the jet itself or brass screw, they are just a few bucks as well, and readily available.

    Pierce Manifolds can have you parts there tomorrow.

    Nice picture. :)
