Hello,

I put a new rebuild kit in this carburetor and I keep seeing fuel leaking out the throat when I try and start the motor. There are some holes on the carb body that look like they could have been plugged with the lead shot that is used on other spots of the carb body. I was wondering if anyone out there might know for sure if these are supposed to be open or closed. I'm pointing at the holes in question with that pen cap. Thanks in advance.
