This zenith carb in my Super A calls for 1 5/32 but it leaks at that setting. I talked to a guy yesterday and he laughed and said just set it level. This sound right or is the 1 5/32 a must? Thanks

Yes, and also put your mouth on the fuel inlet fitting and blow. If you can easily blow into the carb while it is upright, but you CANNOT blow into it while it is upside down, then you know the float and needle valve are working as intended.

When you get the carb assembled after any work, inverting the carb several times listening to see if the float is "loose"----not hanging up is standard practice.
As far as numerical float level----whatever works. Jim

There are reasons besides the float setting why a carburetor would leak. What makes you so sure it is the float setting?
For example, the float could be hanging up on the carb bowl, and no level setting will stop that. The needle and seat could not be sealing properly; I've seen that many many times. The needles and seats we get these days are not very precise and can leak.
