You won`t see much with your naked eye, with enough light and magnification you could probably see the wear if you knew what to look for. We vac test carbs for a reason, mostly because old eyes cannot see seat damage.

What happens is the jet orifice in the plate wears causing a rich condition. You won't see it. Replace the carb. That is what we were doing to cure the issue in the 80s and 90s.

i pressurize the carb , the seat is holding pressure but it's leaking at the jet holes in the throat of carb?
