I just discovered where my #1 carb is leaking: right where the carb joins the air chamber. According to randall washington (randakk.com), there are special fuel o-rings on each carb where they join up which are overlooked during rebuilds, and harden over time, causing leaks. I presume this is why i see fuel inside the air chamber of the carb plenum!? Would this also cause an over-rich condition/plug sooting? I just got 45mpg, but the plug is still black. Will replacing this seal deal with the over-rich condition as well as the leak?
