    Exclamation Float Adjustment Screw Leaking

    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?
