I rebuilt my carb, I couldn't get the float pin out, was going to end up breaking the tabs the pin when through, so I left it. Float, needle, seat everything. Now my float screw is leaking pretty good. So I have the float adjusted right, but the rest of the carb isn't fully adjusted yet.
Does anyone know of something I can put on it for it to stopleaking gas? I have tried car paint but of course the gas eats through it.
Or does anyone know a of place or website I can get a cheap carb that will work good? or where should I get one?
Thanks

I never replaced the gasket underneath. Shouldn't the fuel be half way in the window? Or does that really matter?

yeah it should be, but making sure it doesnt leak is more important :D
