Fuel leak after first carb rebuild: can floats be installed upside down?


  • I just completed my first carb rebuild.  Started up and promptly found one carb leaking fuel.  It appears to be coming from the gasket and/or overflow.  I paid close attention to proper gasket installation.  I'm trying to think what else I could have done wrong and realized I did not pay close attention to the floats.  And I think I may have installed the float upside down.  Is this a common beginner mistake and would you agree this would lead to overflow?
