  • Help - Gas Leak When Car Is Running

    I have a small steady gas leak coming from a small can under my air filter to the right of the carburetor. What is this part that is leaking? Its coming from a tiny hole on the bottom right of this part and only leaks when the car is running. Pictures included with arrow pointing to where the leak is. Thanks in advance. Im guessing that part is the mechanical fuel pump and hoping its easy to replace.

    That is your fuel pump. Probably leaking thru the weep hole. If so, it needs to be replaced.

        Thanks! Already ordered a new pump, should be here first thing tomorrow morning. I'm hoping for an easy swap. $39. Anything I should be aware of as far as the installation goes?

          don't loose the spacer that goes between the head and pump.
