…Murphy’s Law is too true, while getting everything buttoned up and dialed in after installing my manifold and carb I noticed a loud whistling sound coming from the carb base. I rechecked all the fittings, lines and bolts, but it still processed. So, I grabbed the carb cleaner and started looking for the vacuum leak, when I sprayed around the base of the carb the idle changed, found the leak. So, I pulled the carb and checked the gasket everything good there. I grabbed a straight edge and checked the straightness of the carburetors/manifold base and everything is straight however there is some pitting on the manifold base.
So what could be causing this leak? And more importantly how do I fix it. I am thinking of adding another base gasket. What about a gasket sealer?
