Yup, leaking well plugs would be my guess..

On carbs with this condition, i like to spin the engine 3 or 4 revolutions before working the pedal. Then pump the pedal several times, then crank some more. This gives the fuel pump a chance to fill the float bowl before setting the choke.

What ever happened to those hi density foam pads that came in the carb kits that would sandwich between the base and body under the bowl?

Guess they went away with the leather accelerator pumps.
