Still running on Two Cylinders


Helloooo List,
	First I want to thank everyone that responded to my questions
regarding my trouble of cylinders 1 & 2 not firing. I applied what I
thought was relevant in attempting to rectify the problem. Bad news...
none of them worked. But I have made a new discovery today. I removed the
valve cover on the #1 & 2 cylinders & as the valve gasket seal was broke,
about a pint of gas came POURING out. I checked all the valves to make
sure none of them were stuck. None of them were(the clearance was also
OK). Even after leaving the cover off for about 20 minutes, gas continued
to drip.  I solely suspect the carb that supplys fuel to these two
cylinders. How would gas continue to get into the cylinder without the
engine running?
Dirty needle valve Or what???
	If I have to remove the carb to install a rebuilding kit, which
bolts do I remove? The ones that connect the "tube "from the carb to the
intake, or the bolts that the carb mounts to the "tube".(I don't know the
proper term for "tube").
			Thanks All,
				Tom
