I plan to pull the carb off again and check everything again.  Thanks for tip. Jim

Seemed to help, but after three days, there is some fuel on the bottom of the bowl.  Nowhere near as much as the pool on the floor previously.  The floats were replaced ten years ago and did not appear to be taking on fuel. Any ideas what to check next. I am thinking it is the float not shutting off the valve.
