I have rebuilt a few old Carburators and I did find that some
of the floats (brass) have pin leaks in them. After a few
minutes of running they sink and then the carb leaks when
the engine is shut down. Fix can be new float or if you
have no replacement use the gas tank sealer Alcohol proof
and is works fine just be sure float level is correct as the
weight of the float changes the level.
