Hello Wingski, I also spend too much time having fun with my Model A. What is suffering around my house is outside maintenance, paint and caulking! I have to get back to it or I will be changing out some of the trim that has rotted! Back to your work on the carburetor, It is also important to know that the carb can be dripping from gas spilling out of the jet in throat of the carb. By design, the gas has to be very near the tip of the jet to get aspirated into the flow stream. This is why it is important to have the float level set correctly. I have seen with my car that if the car is parked on a very steep hill pointing up hill, it can overflow the jet and appear to have a bad float valve. I hope you get to enjoy the hobby many more years. Ed
