My carborators is leaking is there another reason for it?

Asked by TysonBrien Mar 17, 2021 at 10:40 AM about the 1968 Chevrolet Impala 4 Door Hardtop Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I've had 2 carborators start to leak fuel from them one we
thought it leaked because it was old but the 2nd one we
bought off summit and it began to leak again. Is there a
possiblity that there is another problem other than the
carborators for the leaks or it can only be the carborators

Are you sure it's the carb and not the fuel line that connects to it?

A bad needle and seat could cause leaks due to over filling. Are you using the stock fuel pump?
