curburetor question

Hello

I'm going to be reassembling my carbs and I am wondering if there is any type of liquid seal that one should be using when connecting the fuel line nipples?

I believe you're asking about the Ts between carb 1-2 and between 3-4, and whether or not they need to be sealed into the carb bodies. I would say no, you shouldn't need any kind of sealant. You may instead want to apply just a small dab of silicine grease to help them slide together. Don't use vaseline - you know what it does to rubber. These Ts need to be able to pivot slightly as everything is lining up, and posssibly later if you're working on the carbs and or fuel lines.

For the fuel lines, the spring clamps, or small screw-type hose clamps if you don't still have those, will give a good seal where the hoses attach to the nipples.
