James :
Did you also replace the special flat washer on the bolt ?
Make sure the seal protrusions went inside the float bowl opening ?
Tighten the bolt completely ?
Check the float bowl carefully for cracks ?
Check the sealing surface on the bottom of the carb ?
My float bowls have a plug in the side next to where the bolt goes through.
I've never seen one leak, but ...
