Thanks for that! Put some on there and it has stopped the leak so far!

Such a life saver!!

Now onto the other issues... haha

I have used it in the past with no troubles.

Will jb weld be alright on the webber?

JB-Weld

I felt the brass fitting and it moved a tiny little bit. Any way to stop it from wriggling?

Mate no offence intended but read this, have a little think and just do a simple 10 second check.
Grab the brass fitting firmly and give it a wriggle.
If it feels even a little tiny bit loose the leak is between the fitting and the alloy body.
Ford had a recall on these exact same carbs in the late 1970's for EXACTLY this problem when several 2.0 Escorts and Cortinas got more than a bit warm. Cause of the problem was people levering hoses off the fittings and loosening them. It still happens today.

It should be OK blocked off -- if the fuel pressure is low enough (weber says 2.5 to 3 pounds). Most troubleshooter vacuum gauges can measure fuel pump pressure, so check it! High pressure can cause intermittent issues besides leaking.

If the fuel pressure is ok, put a cap on the brass fitting along with an appropriate size hose clamp.


> Is there anyway I can send the fuel back to the tank?

If you add a return line to the fuel tank, sure.

So if I block the return hose off again, it should be okay? It was blocked off before but leaked. Is there anyway I can send the fuel back to the tank?

I'm new to all this lol
Thanks guys

OK, found this:

The return line has a smaller hole than the fuel inlet line, so don't get them mixed up! Most Webers do not have provision for a return line, as the 32/36 does not need it. Keep the fuel pressure to the Weber-specified and you won't need it either. It is only used in emission-controlled versions.

Look like a Weber 32/36. Where is the leak?

Most 32/36 do not have the straight brass fitting. It may be a return line or a breather line.

If your fuel pump is putting out over 4psi that is the problem. Below the pressure that a return line is unnecessary.
