RE " It appeared to be coming not from the bowl but from the gas line so I removed the gas line sealed it with tape and reinstalled it. Still leaking." The nut does not seal the joint between the fuel line and carb. It compresses the flare to carb. The nut is a compression nut only, so tape there does nothing.
