To check for leaks, pull the carburetor, set it up on a raised stand. (I use four 2 inch long bolts, one in each corner with nuts, for legs.)

Place the raised carburetor on a clean paper towel. Fill the float bowl with fuel and let it sit. If it's leaking you should see it. I try to do this test with a hot or at least warm carburetor as heat can help expose cracks.
