Re: Carburetor leaking
There's several different carburetors that fit on the Model A. You may have ended up with a float that was made for a different carburetor.

Re: Leaking gas tank
I've read that JB Weld won't hold up to gasoline ethanol in it. Eventually it gets gummy and fails. But, I've heard people say they've done gas tank/carb repair with JB Weld and never had a problem...
