I know how to fix it so it never leaks again.

First pull the carb
then find the nearest trash can
put the carb into the trash can where it belongs
then put fuel injection on it

problem solved :redguy:

Spend way to much time tuning it
Pick up parts as they fall off

There's a gas leak and how do I fix it? :help:


If you want, I have a 34 PICT-1 (i think) that you can have. It needs to be rebuilt. That may give you peace of mind. Let me know if you want it.

Not anymore...you gave them to me.
I'm willing to pass one on!

That's a common area for them to leak. That leak has caused more than one VW to go up in flames :shock:
You can probably work the brass tube out, put a little chamfer on the carb where it goes in, then re-assemble it with a little JB Weld.


Thanks Brian, I will do your way.
