As a comment for the Original Poster - With a real leaky float valve and a good shutoff it is possible to get a few drops of leakage as the gas line drains into the carb bowl. I noticed this on mine. This is the reason for the advice to turn off the shutoff and keep the motor running until the motor dies - empties the gas line and some of the float bowl.

Use the mesh filter so rust particles won't enter the shutoff valve and cause leaks.
