Not to say what you should do because it's your time and money but I'm in the camp of knowing before blowing time and money. It has been suggested earlier to measure your vacuum at the carburetor to determine if you have a suspected leak. While you may already know, I just thought I'd offer another way besides using a vacuum gauge to diagnose a suspected leak issue.

The other way to search for a leak blocking off all the openings to hold low air pressure (4-6 lbs) and use the soapy water trick to pinpoint your leaks if any. It can be seals, gaskets or even a cracked or corroded case.

Whatever you do, good luck!
