My carb is leaking somewhere and I cant figure out where.I have had it off and put a different main in it and adjusted the air/fuel screw more in than out and now it leaks in the garage all over the place.I cant find where it is coming from.Someone told me my floats are stuck.Is that what it is?Thanks.

Ya that could be one reason... But are you sure its coming from the carb... My bro had same prob. and it was coming from the part where you turn the gas on at... He just bought one from ace and was on his way.

theres one like right under the carb i thought it was the air fuel screw and it was the carb drain

That could be it.Ill have to check.Im pretty sure its coming from the carb though because I can see where the gas leaks off and I actually caught it dripping once.:D Does anyone have a pic of the screw you are referring to because I dont want to over tighten the wrong one and strip it or something.We all know how hondas screws and bolts are.

Try to determine exactly where the leak is coming from before opening it up.

Is it leaking out of the overflow hose?

No its not the overflow hose I dont think......maybe if I havent figured it out tommorow ill try to get a pic of it if it helps.

My money is the float bowl being stuck from the little round white piece in the bottom of the carb not being seated correctly.

If its the golden screw on the bottom side of your carb you just opened the drain screw like a few have said. If you loosened the screw that is on the botom of your carb then that is your fuel screw.
