:smile: That being a up draft carb. Check for warping between the the two carb halves. Also check for air leaks around the mounting gaskets. Did you install the gasket between the two carb halves correctly? Instead of a comp test, I would do a leak down test.
I don't think there's any warping as I made sure the two halves fit tightly all the way around. Although I did notice that it seemed some fuel may have been wicking out between the two halves via the gasket. Is that possible? Or does that mean it's definitely warped?
Air leaks around the mounting gaskets of what? The carb?
Yes I installed the gasket between the two carb halves correctly.
