Question: How did you know it was the idle jet? trial and error?

After my drive last weekend, I noticed a decent fuel smell in the garage. After looking everything over, I found my driver side carb gasket (gasket between carb and intake manifold) wet with gas.

I cleaned everything up this morning to find a source and I "think" it is coming from where the the fuel line connects to the carb. There are three bolts in that area... one for the fuel line, ops site side where you could mount the fuel line, and at the bottom (which I think is the carb fuel filter location?). I tighten the hose clamp a tiny bit and the other two (14mm and 19mm bolts)...

I pulled the main jets and they are clean... haven't attempted the idle jets... just curious without having to pull the whole carb out...

Side note: engine ran fine last weekend with no hesitation, no idle issues...

Thanks in advance for the help!!!
