    my friend just rebuild my 750 holly carb and it's leaking gas. is there a quick fix for that or do i have to take it apart. i mean all the gasket and seal are new. so maybe it's just not tighten or something.

    Where area of the carb is it leaking from? Could be as simple as a incorrectly adjusted float height
