fuel around the front of the bowl (front is front) and seemed to be leaking
from the joint between the top section and middle.
How sensitive is the carb to the height of the float valve? >>
We had a similar thing happen to both carbs on my son's Roadster after I
rebuilt them. I ended up using the old needle and seat valves to fix his, as the
new ones kept hanging up in the open position, and drownding the carb with fuel
after shut down. I don't know why this was happening, as the kit was fairly
new (not a long time on the shelf). It's possible that the valves are of poor
quality. Just my take, and I hope this helps.
