Can I just pop out the corks on the bottom of the carbs and replace with some kind of rubber ring or gasket I find at a hardware store? Also how do I take those corks off?

Thanks so much for your help. Can I just pop them off with a screw driver or take the whole carb apart?

You can, but work your way around the perimeter, with thumb nails if you have them.
You'll notice the plactic fingers have prongs and the prongs kinda spring onto the opening in the carb. Without compressing the fingers from inside the float chamber you do risk hanging up a prong, I have seen the plug with a broken prong,but ultimately it is the o-ring and not the prong that creates the seal.

I can't believe how helpful this has been for me.This is my first forum, wasn't aware of how generous people were to want to help. Thanks again. The pics have made this a lot easier.
