Gushing leak out of the inlet line to the secondary side of the carb when I started up. Swapped the brass fitting for the line from back to front, and same problem there. What would cause the problem with that fitting to cause such a leak? I'm talking about the brass looking fitting that screws into the carburetor and that the fuel line but screws in to.

To be clear: secondary inlet fitting leaked, so I swapped it to the primary in front, and put the one that was up front in the back. The front inlet leaked this time. What makes these leak?

Re: Holley inlet fitting leak

corrosion? damage? bad threads? a good visual inspection should tell.
