Ah, joe that ain't so at all... You aren't using the proper technique.
My early TR4 came with SZ carbs... The wrong carbs for the car.
I talked with an expert. He instructed me on the "proper technique"
for tuning Stromberg Zenith carbs.
First: Take the carbs off the car and separate them.
Next: With the front carb in your right hand the back carb in your
left, walk out of the garage.
Then: In any direction of your choice throw one SZ carb as far as you
can.
Then: Turn your back an throw the other carb as far as you can in the
opposite direction.
Then: Go and get SU carbs.

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
