Well here is an update on the carburetor I used all of your suggestions. Can’t believe after putting it all back together and running it a few times it doesn’t leak. Well it makes sense (now) I probably didn’t need the new carburetor well now I have a spare. I should have gotten on this form years ago save myself a lot of time and money. From now on when I rebuild a carburetor I will make sure to clean the fuel tank, petcock, fuel lines, and clean the carburetor bowl really good q tips work great. By the way I have watched every you tube video believe me there are a ton not one of them suggested what you all said. I can’t thank you enough for taking your time to help me. I also hope this post will help other people with the same problem (follow their directions it works) Thanks again

Thank you I’ll try that. I will let you know

I’m having a problem with my carburetor on my Honda 350 so I took the carburetor out rebuilt it cleaned it spotless put it back in it’s still leaking. I did this three or four times check the float checked the float pin. Still leaking. After taking it out cleaning it five or six times I decided to buy a brand new carburetor it’s a Honda OEM carburetor. Put it back in and guess what it’s still leaks. So I took the new carburetor out checked it out cleaned it up put it back together put it back in and it stopped leaking for a day. So took the carburetor out cleaned it again check the float checked everything. Now it’s leaking like a sieve. I am at a loss I’ve tried tapping on the carburetor to see if the float stuck I have taken the gas cap off to see if there was venting. Now I’m really at a loss we have a camping trip in two weeks and I can’t get it to stop leaking gas it even leaks gas when it’s running. Any thoughts anything I didn’t do. Please help
