Yellow gunk on carb bottom

I posted here a while ago about a yellowish coating of fluid(fuel probably) in both planes of my edelbrock performer manifold. I recently pulled my carb off and when i looked at the bottom of the throttle blades there is a yellow gunky substance on them. I'm hoping it just fuel that sat or something, but can anyone here clear my consience?





Both planes were yellow but i wiped one down.
