Carb leaks gas

I recently put a rebuild kit into my Model G carb. It started right up and ran good but after a while I noticed it leaking gas out of the throat that goes to the air cleaner. I took it back apart but could find no reason for the leak. I could use some expert advice on what I might be missing.
 
that means the bolw is overfilling. either the float level is wrong, the float i saturated and will not float, the float arms are bent slightly and the float is dragging on the sides of the bowl, or the shut off needle/ seat that the float raises is damaged and leaks thru
 
Probly have one of those stinking rubber/plastic tipped float needles that didn't get packed out right when they were run. I toss the stupid things if they don't seal properly and put in a solid brass or steel needle that I have saved from other rebuilds.
I have heard that you can spin them in the seat to get them to seal. I have not tried it but if you didn't save an old solid metal needle then it would be worth a try. I guess!

I rebuilt a carb for my Oliver 70 last fall. I drove it into the shop to repair the seat Monday and walked away from it for an hour and it looked like a gallon of gas had run out on th floor when I came back. That rubber tipped piece of crap will hit the trash can as soon as I get a chance to get to it.

If you get a good one they are fine but I sure don't like the odds at this point.
 
Dick is right...the rubber tip floats are garbage...if you have the old float needle, you can reuse it and adjust it. I'm not sure what the settings are for a G carb...
