Leaky carbs

[superscouser]

After putting the carbs back on in the process of rebuilding after the second gear repair, a couple of them are leaking slightly out of the drain hoses. The drain screws are fairly tight (don't want to over tighten). Any tips/thoughts on how to stop the drips?

 

Amazing how a little gas can stink out the whole garage... driving the Mrs nuts.

 

Other than the leaking carbs, so far no other leaks that I can see ... fingers crossed.

 

TIA

If you haven't ran fuel threu them much yet they may just need chance to settle down. Not too early for Sea-Foam. I would use a little during Break-in. Or some Marvel Mystery Oil would be good.
