I went to the hardware store and got brass replacements for the two hose connections and the plug.  I also got yellow sealing tape that is designed for use with gasoline, instead of the white teflon tape that I had tried before.  Don&#8217;t use the white stuff with gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When disassembling things to put the new fittings on, the line from the regulator to the carb cracked.  This will have to be replaced, but for now I cut the line shorter.  Unfortunately that meant it was really a little too short for the distance, and I could only use one mount screw for the regulator.  New hose is on the shopping list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During some of my electrical tests, I had the key on, and I noticed that the fuel pump was running a lot, and not sounding like it was meeting with any resistance.  I checked the fuel pressure gauge on the carb line, and&#8230;it was pegged at 15+ PSI.  I&#8217;m not sure if the regulator has failed, if there isn&#8217;t enough fuel left in the tank, or if the gauge is bad.  I ordered another gauge, and will go from there.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bracketracer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7045-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bracketracer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7045-1.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bracketracer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_7045-1-450x600.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At first I thought the Gasoila had sealed the joints properly, but then after a couple of days it sprung a leak again.
