<VV> Leaking Carb. Connection

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

John,
 
Are you holding the filter (big) nut steady while you tighten the small  
fuel line nut?  Tighten the filter nut with a 1" wrench first.   Then snug up 
the small fuel line nut into the filter nut while flexing the fuel  line 
until it is snug so you have a good seat for the flare fitting.  Then  HOLD the 
filter nut with the 1" wrench and tighten the small fuel line nut  into it 
against the big wrench being sure the filter nut isn't tightened  more.  
There should be very minimal to no twisting of the fuel  line if this is done 
correctly.  Then check for leaks.  Just  tightening the small nut against the 
big filter nut will result in leaks  and twisted fuel lines.
