If anything they can tend to loosen up on a rough idling motor. The carb cleaner leak detection is only so useful on the manifold to head gasket. On Bens Manta it showed little to no difference.. until I happened to lean on the carb and that made a change in the pitch of the whine. Thats when I realized it was the intake gasket making the whine.
