aaaaah... i actually checked (frantically)
all around the carbs this morning.
(i forgot to mention that.)
and i seem to remember it being dry under there, i will check again
though. it seemed to have most moisture next to and under the foam
air filters i have on the carbs presenting. i think i will
have to run the engine and see were it comes out to be for sure.
but thanks, i was just thinking i should probably replace those o-rings.
they are on my next order for sure!
