Fuel Leak

[Jodue24]

Hello. Can someone please tell me what this part is and how it can be replaced? It is on top of the carburetor inline with where the fuel line connects and its leaking gas really bad. Its on a 5.0 GL-E. Thanks!!!

Yes, the rectangular piece with four attaching screws is the fuel bowl. Where the fuel inlet line is, that should be the float level adjustment. Typically has a fiber washer to seal it. You may need to get a service kit for the carburetor to get the required part. Usually about $25-40 depending on model. You will need the number that is stamped on the air horn (the vertical part of the casting on the primaries) to get the correct kit. Make sure to follow the float level adjustment procedure that will be outlined in the kit instructions.
