Carb leaking fuel

[bman1bpm]

My carbs have been dripping fuel out of the throttle bore all season. I've adjusted the floats a couple times now. I've got my float set so it still hangs a little low when its shut but I'm not sure if I should close it more, the motor runs well and I'm afraid of leaning it out too much.

Please post make and model number and serial number if you have it. When was the last time you rebuilt it? Sounds like you need a new seat and needle valve

oh yeah guess that would help. Its a 79 chrysler 140. I rebuilt the carb this past winter but did not replace the needle or seat. THe seats in my carbs are pressed in, are they replaceable?
