Exclamation Rebuilt carb still leaking from here (PIC INSIDE)

So i recently had my carb rebuilt. But im still leaking and i don't know how why?




It is leaking from the circled area and dripping on to the housing. How can i fix this?

Accelerator pump. There is a springy kind of gasket that goes over it, you would have a hole
in it.

Yes, between the carb and pump. Remove the screws and you will see it.

your rebuild kit should have given you a new diaphragm/gasket to put in there.

The rebuild had that gasket replaced and ate through it. Some thing not right. Any way. Thanks to RotaryHog. cut the heat shield a bit and popped an 84 carb and used the 79 throttle cable holder. Runs SUPERB. love that 4 barrel nikki.
