[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 407795, member: 7544"] Gasket finally came in yesterday afternoon. I was surprised to see it looked like it was made of the same material they used in the old automobile exhaust manifold gaskets we used back in the 70's. I had to put a small dab of gasket sealer on the corners to hold it in place as I lowed the powerhead back on. During reassembly, I discovered a melted spot on the side of the fuel line. It looked like a wire got hot and melted it. I know the previous owner had to replace some wires due to a short that had happened. Since it was within an inch of the end of the line, I just cut the section off and connected the line. Closer inspection of that piece showed it had a pinhole in the line. Started it up and adjusted on the idle and mixture a bit and she's running great now. No more leaks and the stream out the pee hole is the strongest of any motor I've ever owned. Now if this storm system that's starting on us today will just get out of here, maybe I can get some fishing in. Thanks for the help guys. [/QUOTE]
