Q & A: Carburettor Leak

Q & A, MGA, MGB, MGC, MG T-Type, Midget
Hello there,

I recently purchased a 1978 MGB that has a minor problem, the carburetter (a Zenith 175 CD) has a leak on the side (the leak is not huge, but there's oil and fuel around the area), the ex-owner of the car pointed this out to me and told me that the broken piece is no longer sold. I received a catalog from Victoria British and they sell every piece of the carburetter except that one :-( problem is that the engine shakes a lot, the smell of fuel not being burnt properly is really bad and the car of course hesitates when accelerated. I suppose that air is getting inside of the carburator through here. Can you guys help? Please let me know if this is something that can be repaired.

Thanks in advance,

Alexis
