My banjo fittings and float valve covers are leaking fuel. I've used new gaskets, but still have leaks. Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing this? I've sanded the filter bodys with emery cloth and still leaks. Afraid to over tighten the banjo bolts. Would a suitable gasket compound be ok to seal these areas?

I have seen the banjo fittings crack before. Guess that's not your issue since you fixed it but the next time you may need to look there if you see fuel again.

If they get too bad, PMO does have an assembly that replaces the banjos, and has provisions for either push on or AN fittings for the fuel lines.
I've always had good luck with the gasket kits that PMO sells. |

The carbs aren't that old. I'll check for cracks in the future. I've contacted PMO about the replacement fuel kits, but haven't heard back from them.....am interested in them.

I noticed PMO is for sale according to an ad in Excellence or maybe Hemmings.
Maybe there is nobody answering the mail!? |

Maybe Rich is getting tired! It was always best to fax him with your needs, then he would call you back when he could. Didn't waste as much time that way!
BTW, I didn't see one of his adds in the June Excellence! |

When I rebuilt my carbs I had a similar problem. Once the gaskets got wet and dried a few times they finally swelled/bonded to the metal and stopped. No leaking problems since.
