carb mounting torque?

I'd recently asked about a carb running rich, and leaking gas--when shut off.

Just finished putting a kit in the carb, and it still leaks--from the left side, somewhere near the throttle shaft. I'm kind of paranoid about cranking down on the 4 mounting bolts as I've read about warping the carb.

I checked the surfaces when I had it apart, and though not dead flat, it looked to be within a couple thou most spots.

Is there a suggested mounting torque? Maybe it's already too tight?

Thanks.

(On the plus side, it does seem to idle better, at least for the brief time it's been run.)
