Re: Carburetor is installed but I suspect a leak!
 

There are 4 vacuum lines that connect to the air filter assembly; I plugged
all of them. I have replaced most vacuum lines, but they seem to be a
little "loose", they don't seem to fit tight. I'm looking into that and
will probably clamp down all connections.

If you used SAE sized vacuum line, then this could explain why they're
loose. I believe that Honda uses metric sized tubing. Metric sized vacuum
line is a little harder to find but should be readily available.
