Might suggest that you check the float level in your carter carb. Mine leaked gasoline and a local jeep dealer said i needed a new carb. Scout Pilot refused to sell me a new carb and guided me through an adjustment process. I set the float to the correct level and no more leak. Has been running great ever since. Good luck.

I have a machine shop here in the Shenandoah Valley with CNC Lathes and mills along with a hydraulic metal shear and 8 foot brake. I don't use the CNC's much on this project but I do use the manual machines to make some parts I need for my Willys. I have also found the brake and shear to be a big help. I have almost rebuilt my tub as far as metal work without buying a single panel and have most of it all welded in and I am now about ready to start the body work. I hope to be on the road come May but that may be wishful thinking. Scout Pilot and others helped me on the carb and I just finished up rebuilding the brakes last week along with the drive shafts, distributor bushings and advance, and parking brake overhaul. Steering column and box are done but still need to replace all tie rod ends, drag link, etc. Also the front springs and weld the front "c" shackle bracket back on the frame. Not a whole lot left on the chassis and I have been fortunate with the major components. The engine purrs like a kitten, everything works and sounds good on my test starts and going through the gears with the drive shafts out or up on stands. This has definitly been a learning process on a budget but I am getting there with many hours since last summer. More pics to come. Thanks

I rebuilt the whole carb after it had been in a shed for years although it did run to my surprise. I think the Ethanol got to the carb gaskets and then it started leaking. I hope these rebuild kits are made to withstand ethanol!
