re-gapped plugs, and replaced joint carburetor 1, and 2 (ran into an issue)

wait till the little tykes grow up a bit and try to ride your fj by jamming a stick in the ignition .

oh god i may cry if that happens, ANYWAYS, back to the issue at hand.

   after i put the joint carburetors on, and got it all back together it started leaking fuel, it wasn't doing that before, so i thought it was a stuck float, but i have a  different theory.
if when i put the carbs back on i didn't readjust the intake valves and such, so that the circles aren't flush, would that cause the fuel dumpage?
