I have recently purchased a 1975 Yarcraft with a 40 HP Johnson. I was having problems with a gas leak at the fuel tank so I went to Wal Mart and the only fuel fittings they had were for a Yamaha. I didn't thing it would matter as the fuel fitting at the motor is still for a Johnson. Now that I have put these fittings in my carb is leaking when I try to start it. Does someone think these fittings have anything to do with my problem?

You should use the proper fittings for the fuel line. As far as your carb it probably has a leaky needle and seat.
