My 55 hp 1969 Chrysler (model 5591) is leaking fuel and its draining out the weep hole near the bottom of my lower end. Almost right underneath the butterfly in the carburator, is a metal bowl with a brass hex head bolt that seats it into the bottom of the carb above it.
The "top" of the bowl is where the leak is. I'm guessing there's a gasket thats failing here.
IF I take the brass bolt out and remove the metal bowl, am I gunna have lots of little pieces of carburator spilling out everywhere, or is it safe to remove this and fix the gasket/leak???
