I found a hex screw at the end of the idle solenoid and found out it was for adjusting "curb idle". I screwed it in some and started the truck and noticed gas leaking from the carb so I unscrewed it and the leak stopped. The truck seemed to be fine with it screwed in so Im wondering if that was it and if so why the heck is the carb leaking gas when that screw is adjusted??
