ok so i have been having an issue with a small gas leak coming from my carbs only after it has been shut off overnight, now i know the first thing to check would be needles and seats, and float height, which i have replaced my needles and checked float height which it is to specification but it still leaks..... when i replaced the needles i blew air into the fuel line to insure it is sealing and it is, floats move up and down freely as well, what else could be the issue? also i should mention before i put the carbs back on, i wired them up off the ground and added gas in through the gas lines and it appears the gas is ever so slightly coming from the float bowl, should gas be getting up to the top of the bowls or do i just need to replace my bowl gaskets? any help would be greatly appreciated thanx!
