I just finished a rebuilt kit on my TC's carbuerators. They were leaking
pretty bad.
Now one carb is dry and the other leaks a bit, although not like before. Do
I need to do more adjusting or wait until the new washers and seals set up a
little longer?
It's running perfectly, so I'm hesitant to mess with it. thanks.

How long did you soak the cork seals in oil before installing them?
Overnight?

Mike I have some suggestions, are you sure yoiu removed all the old seals,
many times there is an existing set in the lower jet bearing and another set
had been installed abobe it. Is th spring between the packing stiff enough. I
use Cork rubber and have excellent results, O rings are not so hot, and
natural cork leaves a bit to be desired

Joe,
Would "abobe" be that brown material so often found in the Mexican rebuild
kits?
