hsn leaking fuel
I went to start my savage today and when i primed it fuel was coming out of the top of the hsn so I took it out and put a bit a green slime on the thread but could not get a tune on the hsn. The last time I had it out it ran good could it be the hsn o ring thanks andy

You are most likely correct, all of the o-rings used in this entire line of carburetors were too small for the job they do. They also are very easy to tear upon installation. Glen

RE: hsn leaking fuel
No problem man. anytime. It hasnt leaked since, so i think its just a hair bigger which is what it needs to be anyway. i might have to change all my other orings with them since it works so good.
