noticed leaks around the top carburetor gasket and throttle plunger
Most common problem is the fuel level is too high. Look through the sight-glass and the level should be at the halfway mark. 2mm above half is too much. See Float for details

Another cause of these leaks is a warped carburetor top (somewhat common on the Hitachi 306). When the top warps, the vacuum leaks from the power valve passage, causing it to run super-rich all the time. You can verify this by removing the top and inspecting
* make sure gasket is not torn by center hole
* put a straight edge on the top and look for warpage
* Ensure center plunger rod is not stuck (stuck down means rich)
