After some investigation I noticed that I had a leak between carbs 1 and 2 on the line that lets fuel flow between the two. I split the carbs and soaked the O-rings in some carb cleaner hoping they would swell up and seal again. That worked for a day but then they started to leak again.
I'm looking to see if anyone has replaced these rings or has any suggestions on what kind to get that will hold up to gasoline. It looks like these are discontinued so figured I would stop at the hardware store after work. Added a picture for clarity, also have a video that shows and will post it if anyone would like.

Thanks,
Mitch
