Lenny is right on. Might as well order a few of those filters...I've
found that trying to tighten them up does not stop the leak and get's
dangerously close to stripping the threads. MG Cycle has 'em:

I have the square slide del orto's on my eldo and one of them is a bit
leaky. I got a couple gasket kits from MG Cycle (not sure what one of
the biggish o rings is for or one of the tiny ones) but I noticed there
is no gasket for the round fuel inlet (the one that has a plastic filter


in it) and this seems to be where the leak is coming from. Should there
be a gasket here?

Thanks yet again

Ted, On the VHB carbs the filter acts as the gasket as well. Also
theres a fibre or aluminum sealing washer on the bolt that holds the
inlet in place.
