Went through three viton valves trying to get one that would not allow the carb to drip when the engine is not running and the tank shut off is open. It takes a few minutes but every time, the carb starts to drip after five minutes or so. No problem when the shut off valve is closed. Do more carbs tend to drip than not ? How common a problem is this ? Could the problem be something other than the inlet valve leaking ? Carb is a Zenith and has been completely rebuilt with new seals/gaskets, good float, float level set a .625 inch.
