<VV> leaky carb connection

[BBRT]

Might try different gaskets or more than one. I found the leakage was at the 
big nut. Now if it is at the flare itself, then you have an issue. Try very 
fine sandpaper to smooth any burrs.. Look at the flare, nuyt and receiving 
port really closely.  Some folks have tried a bit of floss, but you have to 
see if the fuel affects it. Likewise same with teflon tape. You surely don't 
want the tape where it can go into the fuel, because it will degrade.
