aggerevating fuel leak from over flow
I am working on a 1996 sportster 1200. neighbors bike. bought kit, have 2 carbs to swap parts around. Bike cranks and runs great. turn it off and then the fuel will pour out of the over flow tube. I have tried to adjust the float height, if anything I should be starving for fuel. I have swapped out 3 needles none stop problem, I have tried 2 different bowls same issue. 2 different floats. I can manually push up on float and turn on petcock and no fuel comes out, slightly lower float and get fuel as it is supposed to work. put it back together and fuel comes pouring out. I bent pin up a little more still leaks. temp is 70 degrees, so pressure shouldn't be building. I have tried it with tank cap loose and tight. there is no vacuum connection on petcock. cleaned seat and it works by hand so it does shut off. I am baffled. any and all suggestions are welcome, I am right at getting a new carb but hate for it to do same thing, because of other issue. screw in drain is tight
