Fuel leak from carb

Post by VonMussa »

Started leaking a bit of fuel here. Located to the area in the yellow circle. I’m not sure what this part is called, or what to address. It looks like there are two orange gaskets, and I found a part number, 16098-73401, that’s described as a “filter”. I’ve searched some sponsor/vendors, but without knowing what it’s called, or part numbers, I’m not having much luck. Help?

Here is the gory story: -

You can see the banjo bolt that holds the assembly together has two crush washers one either side of the fuel pipe connection.
All you need to do is dissemble the union, clean ALL traces of that orange sealant off and fit the crush washers.
They can be made of copper or soft alloy.
Just take the banjo bolt down to your favourite parts store and ask for washers to suit.
Nissanman, just trying to help.

Take the banjo bolt out, clean up the mating surfaces and put new crush washers in. Try tightening the banjo bolt a little, you might get lucky. A quick trip to your local hydraulic shop with the old washer should find a copper, aluminum, or fiber ones. If all that fails drop me a note and I can send a couple.

Were those washers metal or fiber as stock?
