I find the washers missing from probably half the carbs I work on. I now buy them in bulk form. Heat shrink will not work on the overflow tubes, however both JB Weld and solder will. I do not know about "pressure testing" carbs, I always hook them up to my IV bottle and put gas to them for testing before installing them on the bike. While the bottle is hooked up I will turn them and shake them to make sure that they are not going to leak.
