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.
