Hello Listers--

I've had the front end of my 76 TR6 up on jackstands for about 3 weeks 
while rebuilding the front end--which seems to have gone well.  When I 
put it on the ground today and started the engine, gas began leaking at a 
pretty good rate from somewhere near the cold start valve assembly on the 
aft ZS carb.  Does this sound like the obvious--carbs that need 
regasketing--or is this customary for a TR that's had its nose in the air 
for a few weeks?  Before I put it on jackstands, it was running very 
rough under load (accelerating even on level ground) although it was 
idling smoothly.  Now, it's idling rough and leaking.  Opinions would be 
appreciated.

Thanks.
