That and a can of good ol reilable carb cleaner to check for leaks.
Especially around the base if anyone has ever horked on the bolts to
tighten it up a bit more. That tends to bend the ears and leaves a
nice gap that you can remove by sanding down the carb base using some
sandpaper and a real flat surface like a sheet of glass or very flat
workbench. Similar to the procedure here.
