Thanks for the knowledge fellas! I feel like I have all but eliminated all my other leaks the carb was experiencing. It took a lot several tear downs and patience. I may play around with it some more and see if I can determine where the fuel disappears to.
Other wins I had last night were finding the reason the car would rarely return to idle. The first issue was the throttle rod was rubbing the air cleaner, but mostly the issue was on the driver side of the block the arm was hitting the block. Really hoping for a test drive later today or tomorrow after work
