Default Intake gasket to leaking dual quads


I like to thank all for help on my intake manifold gasket issue. 2nd attempt worked only by using Fel-pro 1204.
But now another problem!
I took random pic off internet for illustration: on top the large bolt, it’s bottom left on picture but rear carb.
There is little puddle of fuel leaking on rear carb, but this is after local rebuild. Bolt seems tight.
is there any quick fix or do I need to send to mainland for restoration?
Also in the meanwhile I assume there is no a big issue for fire, if very small leak?
Aloha,
Eric

That big nut has a gasket under it and it may be deteriorated - its no big deal...
Rather than trying to order one from CONUS, since you're in Hawaii I'd get some gasket material and cut myself one or maybe two and "double up" on the installation...
