Fuel cut off solenoid question

I have an '85 Accord w/3bbl carb., which I recently rebuilt (runs like a watch!). There seems to be a small fuel leak developing at the cut off solenoid on the carb., it looks like it's leaking out the back(wiring side), is this a common problem? Where can I find one of these items?
Thanks...

You cant find this through google, contact Jim Linder in Indinapolis, IN. They can guide you to a good carb man, LinderTech, google.

Leaking through the solenoid? Sure it's not just the oring? Dealers sell em, a junk yard would be cheaper.

I have never seen a leak through the solenoid .but there could always be a first time,, Like Chio said , i would remove it and chk the seal ( o-ring ) behind it ..
if it does turn out to be the solenoid i would chk at the salvage yards in your area
