Where is it leaking? Mine had a slight tear in the main large gasket. Replaced that and the problem went away.

Gas level is way below that gasket. You had other problems like a spec of dirt holding the needle open that corrected itself when you took it apart.

BINGO, Teddy;
Right on the money, with this!!!!

AND/OR....other causes of flooding carb......:
Leaking floats, filling with fuel, holding floats down to bottom of bowl

Floats not being correctly adjusted.

Floats rubbing on bowl sides, holding them down, float needle open.

Float needle, seat gasket, not tight and letting fuel flow past the seat.

AND ON & ON,.....ect, ect!!!!!!!
