Default Re: carb leaking gas, what did I do wrong?

Ok, that will be my next task.

EDIT:

Ah ha! I just removed the carb off the car and pulled out the float and gave it a shake... sure enough, it's full of gas! I wiped it dry and I can see gas seep out immediately... I guess a new float is in order!

At least I now know what the culprit is. (probably could've found it a lot sooner but I'm still learning so always afraid of taking things apart and risk making it worse, or not being able to put it back together correctly.)

Thanks everyone!
