[AT] Super A Carb Leak

[Will Powell]

You say once it is running it leaks? Does it leak while its running, or after? 

How is the float level, perhaps it's too high and you need to lower the level. 

Or, the float is getting hung up in the chamber, I've had floats that were bent out or in that got caught while moving... I always shake my carbs before I mount them to be sure I can hear the float moving around, If I can't hear it clanking around its usually stuck on something. 

Regards, 

Will

Sounds like the float is sticking open.
