May use any one of the 4 sync nipples located on the carb holders as a vac supply for the petcock. Remember to cap/plug the dedicated carb vac nipple.nickleo373 wrote: On tk22 carbs i believe there is only one hole where the vacuum hose can attach to....

Its not a visible amount but it is enough to leave that cool gas feeling on your hands. Ive recently replaced all the gaskets in my carbs and I'm not sure what would cause it to leak from its float bowl drains
Maybe the floats were set to a incorect height. Maybe needle and seat leaking.

Setting float height is futile unless true fuel level is confirmed within specs via the clear tube test.
