Re: Float valve leaking
I have found that the float can contribute to the problem. You need to inspect carburetor float hinge bracket, frequently the float valve will wear a dimple in the hinge bracket and the dimple and will impede the float travel and thus not completely seat the needle in the float valve. See the below photos of two floats with dimples from years of contact with the float valve needle.

If you don't have time to do it right the 1st time, how do you have time to do it the 2nd time?
