TR6 - The bottom of the carbs have gas on them; I can feel it when I run my=
 fingers along the bottom.

Replaced all the bottom stuff a few years ago.  TR6 was driven from Dallas =
to Reno in April; no gas smell in daughter's garage in Reno.  Was driven in=
 May and August in Reno (see Hot August Nights!) but no smell.  Was driven =
from Reno to Taos to Dallas; seems like that is when the problem started.

Any thoughts on where I should start?  Its probably either the seal in the =
float chamber or the seal on the very bottom?  If I put a mirror down there=
 what am I looking for?
