Someone with more knowledge may correct me but, I believe the original factory coatings for carburetors was a zinc chromate.
Over the years and multiple rebuilds these coatings wear or wash off, increasing the leak down or evaporation through the porous cast body of the carburetor.
Re-chromating the body should help; and Dave Thibeault does that when he restores a carb.
