I'll let you know what it does with all the new seals.
Sounds like the old girl was in need of some TLC. Still, if it's been chugging along for 6 + gal and not been touched, that's a pretty good run
If those carb O Rings were trashed that badly, check the EPA setting on your brakes. The brake uses the carb and motor to "push off" if you like. If your running too much EPA you can "wobble" the carb each time you hit the brakes hard. As I mentioned earlier this can chew those O Rings up.
