On the bolt there should be a machined slot for a rubber "O" ring to fit in, if you don't have one, find one.
Replace the primer also, or at least replace the fuel lines going to it.

I have an O ring in the garage, but since an O ring wasn't on the bolt or anywhere else, I didn't use the new O ring. There was a black band around the mid-section of the bolt. It wasn't a ring though as it was flush with the bolt; had flat sides. Didn't look like it was meant to come off or replace, so I left it.
Regarding the primer, I pumped until fuel spilled out of it. Should I keep pumping? that seem's unnecessary to me...but what do I know.
What are the spec's of the copper crush washer? And can I do/replace anything now that will allow me to never have to use a copper crush washer again? they're too hard to find.
