My carb has a leakage at the throttle spindle and won't start!............HELP!

What sort of help do you need? Sounds like you need to have your carb rebuilt, or a replacement one...?

It's probably just as well that it doesn't start, it's surely a bit of a fire hazzard to drive it while leaking.

I can recommend the Carburetter Exchange in Leighton Buzzard.

They reconditioned the 26VFIS on my car and it came back looking like NOS! :d

"The throttle spindle housing is re-bushed using P.T.F.E. lined glacier type bushes and line reamed to correct tolerance."

Seems you have come across the throttle wear the hard way. :wink:

Im suprised that it wont run at all, I can see it not idling. On later cars I believe they thought to put a sacrificial bushing in there, but not on these old ones. :?

Im sure that any decent machine shop could knock you up a bush to fill the gap?
