Fuel is leaking from the front of the carburetor and it looks like from around the accelerator pump. Can this be individually repaired (new gasket?), Or do I need to have the carb completely rebuilt?

Thanks

The accelerator pump can be repaired on most models depending on carburator. I think they only have a whole carb kit. I dont think they have the repair kit for only the eaccelerator pump.

Thanks. Repaired it today after a talk with a local auto parts guy. He was kind enough to break a kit and sell me the pump for $10.00. This why I like to support the local guys (a vanishing breed).

Hardest part was getting the one of the bottom screws back in without dropping it down in the engine. Thanks again for your reply to my question.
