When you get them you must disassemble them and re-establish float level and tightness. Make sure the float level is 1/16" from the top and actually shuts off the fuel. Re-tighten and check for leaks with acetone. Set idle screws at 1.5 turns out and run them in as necessary. So far no leaks and they run well.
Just my thoughts.
Are these the Chinese ones on Amazon? If not, please let us know for I'm very interested.
