Joseph,
What are the likely trouble spots to go after using this method?

Marc,
Start at the throttle shafts where they go through the body of the carb and
work inward. Try them on both sides of each carb. Also mating surfaces of
carb to manifold and manifold to head, anywhere there is a casting plug or
capping off an emission plumbing, etc. Could even be a crack somewhere.
