Pretty Simple question here.
Super A. Gas leaking from connection from gas line to carb. There is a rubber hose connecting with a 2in piece of copper tubing inside the rubber then inside the gas "in" on the carb.
It leaks a lot.
Copper tube has some nice wear. What is that copper tube called, or is that just a farmer fix. I figured if I could find the copper tube that was smooth and round to replace the worn one all would be fine?
Anyway thank you as usual.

Re: Gas Leak on carb-simple question
It is a farmer fix. The original line was steel, full length with no copper or rubber. Many of the do-it-yourself fixes mess things up by using close but not correct fittings with the wrong threads, for example screwing a pipe thread part into a straight thread part. The original had a street ell screwed into the carburetor. The elbow includes a screen on the carburetor end. That end is a pipe thread. The other end (internal thread) is a straight thread that uses a compression fitting. The thread for the steel tube at the fuel strainer end should also be a compression fitting.

Re: Gas Leak on carb-simple question
Hey I am finally back working on this tractor.
Any advice as to how to fix this problem? Could a get a new fuel line with the compression fittings? It doesn't really seem like the elbow with the steel screen will accept a compression fitting without leaking. As it appears to be lacking threads.
Can I get a a new one of those elbows as well?
Thank you.

Re: Gas Leak on carb-simple question
Steiner's has that peice. They are 2 different sizes, so make sure you get the correct one. You can get steel brake line from an auto parts store and, with a tubing bender, make your own fuel line. It is about the same as a Cub, and there should be several posts on making them.
Good luck!
