GLU;

If your talking about the brass "T", it's threads are tapered pipe-type, so if they're turned in all the way and still leaking, it might be time to replace it...use gasket goop!

What does "nothing" mean guage should peg or go to zero when opening or grounding sender wire (I always forget which is which...someone else chime in here with the answer please!)...if it does that, the problem is at the tank/sender, if not guage is suspect.

I also don't know what: "my throttle kicks out momentarily" means...linkage problem or fuel level in bowl problem...?...it may be related to the other linkage problem...a carefull inspection and investigation is in order!

Good Hunting!
