I have 1 leaking carb. The good news is I had 3! I've tried everything I've read and watched on YouTube. I've tried 3 new needles and a new float. I've cleaned out the pathway with metal cleaner and a q tip ( like a guy on YouTube suggested. Any tricks that I'm missing?? I'm tired of pouring gas every time I stop! !
 
Is the gas cap vent working? Pressure building in the tank can easily push the needles open and overflow the carb bowls.

Did you test your floats to see if they actually float in gas? Plastic floats are notorious for sinking when they get old, I always use brass when I can.
