what is shocking is that the xrings still look just fine, I'm gonna go to the parts store and pick up 50¢ worth of slightly thicker oring and try it to see if it solves my prob.

I know this is the issue of leakage, not fuel pressure or leaky epoxy, or loose throttle shaft but thanks for the suggestions moparts.

Would like to thank nacho for the info in this thread
