Ok, so now gas is coming out of carb, not from bowl. I changed out the fuel inlet valve and that tiny gasket or plug that the valve pushes up on , the float seemed ok .no gas inside it. but still leaking gas, coming from carb opening where the air filter sits.

Your symptoms indicate that the float needle and seat are not working properly. When you installed the new seat, from the rebuild kit, did you make sure that the rings on the seat were installed toward the carb body. Also, are you sure that you have the seat pushed to the bottom of the inlet?

For everyone else reading this thread, in December I purchased a ultrasonic cleaner at Harbor Freight for cleaning carbs. It has been the best investment we have added to the shop in years. Works at getting the gunk out of the carb about 90% of the time on the first try of six minutes. After two run thru's our rate is about 95%. You don't have to remove any of the plastic parts, which you must, if you use a bath style cleaner, like the one reynoldston uses. Still have our can of that style, but haven't used it since the ultra was put in, also much safer on your hands and the enviroment. I would definitely recommend this type of cleaner to anyone who rebuilds carbs regularly.

I got an ultrasonic cleaner with a thirty minute max timer about a month ago. Seems to work well. I have tried the water with a little dish soap but found the white distilled vinegar and water works much better.

The seat may be the problem, when I removed it I thought the ring were facing me, so I replaced it facing out, so what your saying,it should be facing in, the rings should be opposite the fuel inlet valve?

The end of the seal with the rings should be facing the the seat. The flat side is where the needle seats. Make sure that the float is not binding on the rod.

I boil the carb in lemon juice.
