I rebuilt a pair of carbs 3 times trying to figure out the trick. The best advice I got was soak the cork seals in oil. Not just for an hour or overnight. Try a week. When I put the carbs together and leave the nuts squeezing the seals on with a light amount
of pressure. Put everything together. You'll notice the chokes work very nicely. But when you run the car, the seals will leak gasoline. Tighten the seal nuts a little at a time till the gas stops leaking. If you're lucky you might still be able to pull
the choke.</div>

I am curious if anyone has used the new seals I see that Moss sells? Are they any better?</div>
