2001 50hp 4 stroke leaking fuel at idle in throats of carbs, even puddling after engine off. Floats seem good and set properly. All suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks

How about the needle valves that the floats control? The valve tip has to be perfectly conical with no ring or any other distortion. If rubber it needs to be slightly pliable. Also no binding in the movement of the floats. Floats have to float.
