Originally I was trying to replace my fuel filter which is located in the carburetor. As I was doing that, I accidently twisted the steel fuel tubing for the fuel line, so I replaced all of it with rubber tubing to make everything easier to remove and put back on. Where the fuel line goes into the carburetor there is a smaller bolt where the tubing goes into, and a larger bolt where the fuel filter sits in that screws into the carburetor.
Now my problem is that I can't get a seal on the large bolt screwing into the carburetor. I've used a sealant (which I've made sure it resistant to gas, oil, etc, and is used for threaded connections) but despite every attempt, I can NOT get it to stop leaking.
(I've talked to an person at O'Reilys [they sell car parts and what not] and the guy thinks that there was a "paper gasket" that should have been where the threaded connection is, similiar to a washer, I believe. But I never noticed anything similiar to that when I took the bolt off in the first place)
