leaking flame starter

[sparkylisle]

My flame starter is leaking and I want to bypass it until I have a chance to fix it. There are two fuel lines connected to it and I was wondering if one is the supply and one is a return or are they both supply lines???

The skinny one is supply. Most likely the return line is leaking fuel from the general return hoses. You can plug everything without a problem.

Mine was leaking too.I tried to refurb the self align compression ferrule(olive in the UK) and broke it. I tried a std 3/16 compression ferrule. It cocked on the tube and leaked worse. I put a tube sleeve inside and used a new ferrule. That solved the problem. I could not find [local] the correct ferrule. JimK

I'm thinking Sparky's is leaking into the intake manifold, which is not a good thing.
