Don't tear into the carb yet. Wait until after you fix the vacuum leak. The carb may be fine. No need to go to the dealer to find intake manifold leaks; you already know how to do it with a can of carb cleaner.
More important, when was the timing belt last changed? It is to be replaced every 100,000 miles.
Good luck with your HF. They are a neat car.

Thank you Mobilone, so you don't recommend rebuilding the carburetor, even after removing the carburetor from carb base plate to reseal?
The 2nd owner never changed Timing belt & they bought it when it had about 105,000 miles. So I purchased a new Gates Timing Belt (EPDM) kit & a new Aisin water pump. However Gates still recommends changing per Honda specs at every 60K. 100K sounds reasonable since the new EPDM timing belts are typically known to last this long.
