The cork is your problem. I used a rebuild kit that included cork
gaskets the first time I did my carbs four years ago and they leaked from
the begining - a little at first, then more and more as time went by. Get
the rubber o-rings that Moss sells separatly (they are on the carb page) -
they worked great for me and ended leaks completely. Mmmmmmm, modern
technology.
