Help! Carb Leaking

[born loser]

Posting this for a friend. Diaphragm carb (no float bowl)....replaced diaphragm, gasket, spring, 'needle'.....still leaking gas. He says gas is leaking out of everything.:doah: I dont know what to tell him from here on out. Figures maybe someone here might have some insight.:smile:

Some poeple forget to replace the inlet needle seat o-ring, where most leaks occur.

didnt see an inlet needle o-ring on his diagram (book). just a spring and needle.
i know float-bowl carbs have them, but this is a diaphram carb. Wish i could find a diagram or pic......
