Those foam pads were a complete POS, and never did anything to help that issue.
We also see a good many of these carburetors leak at the front plugs as well. The only real cure for leaking bottom plugs is to remove them and install screw in plugs coated with Marine Tex or Devcon....IMHO. Fuel leaves the carburetor in three ways, evaporation, drains back, and at the bottom plugs. At best after a hot shut-down it the bowl will be pretty much dried up in about a week. Even so the fuel pump should have fuel back in the bowl after a few cranks of the starter. If it takes many cranking cycles and the engine is still hard to start check pump shot and make sure the choke flap is tightly shut, one of these will be the issue......Cliff

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
