Leaking in the engine and floodeing the car then probably bottom o ring.

If it will not seat right then soak the bottom o ring in carb cleaner for about 5-10 min and it will slide right in and seat.

Check to make sure the bottom o ring doesn't have a small slit or tear in it too.

Also check the top o ring and see if it is in good shape too. They have to go all the way in and click (snap in place) before you put that metal cover piece on. If that metal cover piece is pushing them in further then they aren't in all the way to begin with.



I learned the hard way....

SR Motorsports recomended carb cleaner when I called them. I'm sure oil would work too. Anything slippery
