The Ford Barn

hi guys , slow but sure I'm gonna get this fixed. the carb is leaking from the top back side. the hole in the bottom half which you can see into and see the bolt threads which hold the 2 halves together. when I had it apart I noticed a weep hole just down from the top . I see the gas coming out from this area. seems to me an indication that the floats to high. can anyone stay with me on this . I need some direction on how to proceed. thanks again THE HOOCH

Set my floats so the seam is parallel to the underside of the top. That seems to be correct, because mine don't leak and I have no stopping issues.

Maybe the needle isn't seating fully.
