Gabriel - much as I enjoy throwing rocks at the Rochester B's (

); the carburetor probably is not the issue here. Rather it is the volatility of modern fuel. The Rochester B can leak down, but only if you park the truck on its roof (upside down

) Leaking down is a function of Holley carburetors, with the diaphragm type power valves, and a gravity passage direct to the intake.
