leaking Carb

Opps, yea you're right. Tell you what, do what I did when I was a young laddy, take it apart and see how it works. Take the top off the carb, carefully so the gasket doesn't get damaged, and the float may or may not come up with the top. check that there is nothing under the seat causing the level to be high and just figure the carb out. The float operates a valve that when the float comes up it shuts the valve and therefore the gas. The float may have a bendable tab on it that can be bent "slightly" to shut off the fuel earlier. Problem is I never had a 1 barrel apart so i'm not entirely sure what it looks like but hey you got to learn sometime. A digital would help.
