I own my own cycle shop. I run into this constantly. After i run my carbs thru an ultrasonic cleaner i use the same technique only with a q tip and mothers polish. Then go back and polish it with a clean q tip. Unfortunately what youll find in a lot of cases is after u polish it up take a a jewelers glass and a good flash lite and youll find that the seat is pitted or damaged. Look close youll see it. In cases where the seat is pressed in and not replaceable i drill it out and find a new seat from maybe a polaris or yamaha. Whatever. Put an o ring on it and push it into the body. Make it fit. Set your float highth and install a copper washer on top of the seat with seals all on it. Let it set over night and viola you have a new seat and needle

Ill have to give it a shot. My Carburator is leaking i went ahead and rebuilt it. Still leaks out of the float bowl vent tube where the plug scew is on my FCR Carburator

Hey Im having the same issue, did that help?

[@randallhorres4213]

@@dc5.nandoo I ended up making a brass shim to go between float and needle valve and that fixed mine .... was Alot of play and when float was all the way up it wasn't closing needle valve all the way

[@randallhorres4213]

if I put my finger over the seat body and blow in to the tube It still has air blowing out somewhere in the carb body is that normal or should I not be able to blow thru it ?

Does it leak when the float and needle are installed.......there are small holes in the bottom of the seat that you are unable to plug with your finger.
