I agree Ryan. His leak could have been gas oozing around the sediment bowl gasket as it appears his float valve was working as it wouldn't let gas flow back into his sediment bowl.

David Renner, of Renners Corner where I purchased "flow tested" jets for a carburetor like yours told me to remove mine. He explained that originally there wasn't an air filter on these carbs. They were designed to run without one and when one is placed on the carb it now changes the air flow to less with more gas. The restriction in air flow is similar to having the choke partially on.
I haven't even started my car since I got it as I've been cleaning the fuel system and going over things ,brakes, transmission, electrical,,,,,,,,,,,. But what he said makes sense. He can take your carburetor and modify it to run as it should with an air filter. I'm going to try mine both ways and see what difference it makes, while I don't doubt his statement at all.
