fuel leaking out
i have fuel leaking out of my 32 carb, when you take the bellmouth off and look down the body of the carb , at the base of the body is some holes from which the fuel is leaking out , just above the the float bowl, i have gently given the float bowl a few taps with a rubber mallet to see if it will free up the float in case it,s jamed, but no luck, is there anything to specifically look for when i take the float bowl off, thanks in advance

Darrin, when you remove the float bowl, then float, the float needle will also come out. Look at the point..... Does it have a groove going around where it seats ? Probably does, so replace it.
Have a look at yoiur fuel taps too. Disconnect the fuel hoses, turn taps off shake all gas from hoses. Put a paper towl under each hose... Now come back and take another look, do you see fuel residue or any wetness? Your taps might be leaking. Repair or replace.
