Your "new" carbs weren't...  and yes the green icing on that pump 
plunger is plain old corrosion.   Moisture.   Alky will contain 
moisture itself, and besides, if there's any water in the tank at all 
some of it's likely to find its way into the carbs and settle 
there.   That brass pump cup holder on the plunger will corrode if it 
sits in the wet long enough.
