I just cleaned all 4 of my carbs. The last one I did, I can't seem to get to stop leaking. It is the only one that I took the seat (below the needle) out. I don't know if there is a specification for how to put the seat back in. I thought maybe I had tightened it too much, so I took it apart again and redid the seat less tightly. It stopped it for a little while, but now it is overflowing a ton of fuel.... my manual is on order.
Some carbs have a washer below the seat. This one didn't. Does anyone know if it should?
The needle is new. The only things I can think of that would cause the overflow (it pours out of the small hole below the air intake) is
1) bent float
2) bad needle
3) bad seat
4) seat too tight.
Any thoughts- thanks
