Sprayed the outside all over- no difference in RPM.

UPDATE :: Took carb off (Ford script 91-99). Tilting it in mid-air and fuel was running out the throttle shaft. This is a 'truck' carb with the manual throttle on the other end of the throttle shaft- that's where it was dripping. I have an 8BA carb, so swapped bases.

Put everything back together, truck ran a good 12 mins with no whistle. Problem now is I lost a really smooth idle- it would not idle without throttle and even then ran rough.

Adjusted mixture screws for some time with not much in the way of results. Can't drive it this way. Any issue in swapping the bases as far as idle quality?

I'm not above sending both out in a box to a reputable rebuilder....
