Ok so here is the rundown of what I did today.

I put in a 37.5 pilot jet and then got some 110 octane and did a 50/50 mix with the 87 octane. I ran it a bit and still had gas coming out of the air cleaner. The guy at another local motorcycle shop said my float must be sticking. I made sure everything was moving when I put the bowl back on and shook it around but still had the same problem. I also sprayed starting fluid all over the seals and had no idol difference.

What gives? Should I get reeds first or a new carb?

What kind of carb should I get if needed?

I also noticed the exhaust valve rod fell off in that little window and put that back on but really has no movement when I rev it. Still leaking gas out of the carb as well. Any advice here?

Also I still have to have the idol screw all the way in for a idol with 2 turns out on the air screw, and as I back the air screw out my idol still goes up and up. Does this mean my pilot jet is still to lean at 37.5?
