FWIW, I have a similar problem with our BN2--we can't get the front carb
float valve to seal up (may be contributing to our fuel pump runon
problem). Symptoms are: fuel dribbling out of jet and, occasionally,
will spit out the overflow tube.
Our problem doesn't seem to be related to engine temperature, but I'll
be watching the responses.
