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.
Good advice. 100% honestly, if I pull the thing off Im probably just going to do the little kit to it that Cliff sells. Might as try and generate some content out of it.

But yes Ive read that unless they are severe they often don't leak until good and heat soaked. Which makes sense.

About Us

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.
