Fuel leak

[green 66]

Holley 870 street avenger leaking fuel from rear bowl. Should that plug be a brass screw like the front one? If so where would I find one?

Hard to tell in the pic but that looks like a broken sight plug.
Like these they are best removed after setting the float and replace the brass plug.

Yea,just figured that out. Can I just remove that plug and put in a brass plug? Thanks

Thanks guys-car works great just the way it’s set up I don’t want to change float levels. Should I take it off to replace with brass plug or how does that site glass come out?

it screws out You could use a small easy out to remove it. It shouldn’t be tight you probably could use a pic or a small sharp chisel to spin it out.

Another way would be to heat up a small flat blade screw driver and melt it into the plug about an 1/8” or so let it cool and just screw it out. Of course the disclaimer and I guess you already know don’t get the open flame around the fuel.
