On the hunt to track down oil leaks and the gas smell, I ordered the correct carb kit (Advance) and the phenolic gasket (JimK). I have a neighbor who is a better mechanic than I and he agreed to go through the carb. Today he was over because I was making him some patch panels on a car he's restoring. While waiting for some welds to cool we were looking at the coach and he was looking at the carb and where I saw the damp gasket. He reached down and turned one of the mounting bolts with his fingers.
"Have you loosened these?"
"No."
"Well, they're loose".
And all four were loose. The air horn screws were not 'tight' either so I snugged them up too, started the engine, and didn't immediately notice any smell. Could have been just PO incompetence. Since I've got to pull the intake to plug the crossover, we're going to go through the carb anyway but I'm hopeful.
