Fixing leaky fuel pipe
Maybe this has been mentioned. The hard rubber fuel pipe had a leak at the crimp because it started pulling out. I fixed it by opening the crimp then dunking the pipe in boiling water to soften it up. I pushed it back in over the lips of the nozzle while still burning hot. The crimp I closed with a big flat screwdriver, tapping gently near the corner of each end so it looks square again. (I can't imagine how it was crimped in the first place! )For fun I dunked the fuel pipe again in boiling water, and reconnect it to the tank and carburator while still hot to give it that nice curve again.
