It doesn't appear to leak a drop when the car is running. Just when you shut it off it seams to spit out, what I would consider unburned fuel. I'm not sure if this is a gasket issue with the blower, or some sort of carb setting. Having little to no experience with this I haven't really fooled around with the carb. I was just looking for any suggestions of what could cause this problem. I am trying to avoid taking the blower off to put in a thicker gasket, but If need be I guess I will have to. The gasket that is in there is brand new. thanks
If you decide to replace the gasket make sure you get new studs and nuts and also follow the torque specs. very carefully.
