These carburetors use plastic floats. If carburetor is to be disassembled
and the wells sealed and quad rings replaced as suggested, an additional
suggestion would be to replace the floats. Plastic floats gain weight with
time (there are weight specs for them) but replacement is cheap insurance as
they can be just as much of a problem as are the wells and quad rings.
