Model A carburetors can be temperamental, many have problems with leaks.The new replacement Zenith carbs that some call the fork lift carb may be your best bet. Many report that the new Zenith replacement carbs don't leak or make the garage smell like gas. another good point could be that the new carbs don't have the GAV adjustment on the choke that confuses so many. just a thought.
