Car leaks after jet install!!!!!

#1
I was running .028 size jet and noticed i had bad throttle reaponse. So I ins5alled a .032 jet....runs perfect but now carb leaks. It seems like its coming from the top of the bowl. I made sure I put rubber seal back in... I need help.

Upgrades: dyno cam. 18lbs springs. Header. Air filter(no flywheel but soon to come)

Did it leak before the new jet? Nope.
So, you put something together wrong.
Did you,use a new,bowl gasket?
Did you change anything with the needle seat valve?
Have,l you cleaned anything?
If it wasn't leaking prior to you rejecting then something happened when you rejetted.

If I recall, the bowl has a rubber o-ring. If it got pinched or rolled it may leak. You will need to check it again. Also, are you sure the e-tube and jet are seated all the way? If they are not, the nut at the bottom of the bowl won't allow it to tighten properly
