The carb on my GS160 is weeping from the float chamber. I have fitted a new float, needle and filter. New gaskets to float cap, fuel inlet banjo and the one between the carb top and main body.I carefully cleaned all the mating surfaces and the float chamber internally at the same concluding the float needle seat looked clean and smooth although it is hard too see its condition really as you know. Whilst my work has made a big improvement it is still weeping.when I remove the float cap and turn on the fuel it floods over the sides. Should this happen? I doubt it and I think this is why fuel is being forced past the gasket.It probably means fuel is being fed in too great a quantity to the jets when running.Am I right? This carb is no longer available. Any advice is most welcome. Today I will remove the top section, invert it, turn on the fuel to see if the fuel needle shuts of the supply. If the seat is worn what can I do?
