    Tiny Fuel Leak at the Carb

    I just put on my new carb and there is a tiny fuel leak right where the fuel hose meets the carb. I think my fuel hose might have gotten stretched out when I was tearing everything down. What do you do to fix that kind of leak? Right now it has a ziptie on it and a little clip and the leak is really really small. Should I put some sort of sealant or glue on it or do I just need to buy a new hose?

    I'm thinking rubber cement. Would that be a bad idea?
