My carb was low on fuel in the morning and worse if left for a couple of days. I removed the carb today and put on one of my spares. I removed the bottom plate from my carb and as expected the plugs were leaking. They had been covered by whoever rebuilt the carb last time and when I had changed the bottom plate so I could set up an electric coke I checked the plugs and they had been covered so I thought they'd be ok. Turns out the stuff they used to cover the plugs was falling apart so I am not sure what they used. Anyway I removed what was left of the material that was used, cleaned the area real well and sealed the plugs with epoxy. I'll let it dry overnight and put it back on tomorrow sometime....🙂
