Leaking Holley Teapot

[RalphG]

I am finally opening up the Holley "teapot" carb on the 52 Merc to try and figure out why the gas leaks down into the engine while it sits for a few days. It pretty well drains the float bowl and I think the oil level in the pan is coming up which is cause for concern. Plus makes it hard starting and have to prime it. Where is the gas getting through?Everything looks ok to my untrained eye. Accelerator pump looks all there and functional. I have not removed the economizer diaphragm and stem yet.
