Overflowing Float

[chasdoug@gte.net]

Thanks for all the responses to my problem about leaking gas from my
float bowl.  Sorry I don't have time to respond individually.

As I now understand it: if the needle valve fails to close, the gas
overflows by design, so neither my gasket nor my fuel pipe connection
are at fault.

As soon as I get a free minute, I will tear down the float and check the
needle valve.
