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

I can not say what Max did to the Carb. except he does excellent work and so does Charlie! if the input valve has the two steel balls that control fuel flow they are somewhat sensitive to dirt. I note you are using a fuel flex line to feed fuel to the Carb. If a piece of rubber gets into the input valve the two balls will not be able to control fuel level properly. This can lead to excessive fuel level and fuel coming out exactly where you have fuel. I suggest you change the rubber fuel line to a new steel line with the proper fittings. The input valve can be removed and cleaned, without taking the Carb apart.
