Ian- I use a clear hose form the petcock to the carbs when I do the balancing so I can see the gas. I'll go over all connections again to hopefully eliminate any leaks. Same with rechecking the needles. I'll drop the bowls and check the floats also. I did have a tube full of gas when the engine was shut down and noticed no leaks. Just for the record I'm running 150 mains with 42 pilots and no shims at about 500' elevation, with open pods and Specialty Spares short slashes. Probably be this weekend befrore I can get back to it but I'll post my results.
