I have dual webber 40 IDF, the carb was leaking through the accelerator pump diaphragm. After replacing it the carb over flows throug the top? I checked the needle valve and it moves freely and is attached to the floats. The floats also move freely. Could it be the floats need to be adjusted, if so how.

Floats might need to be adjusted or perhaps the needle valves
are shot, but how's your fuel pressure?
If its too high it will overpower the floats and needle valve which
would cause fuel to boil over from the middle of the carb.
Make sure its not over 4 psi.

I'd recommend buying the Weber Tech Manual by Bob Tomlinson
from CB performance. Can't beat it, especially since its only $10.

Has lots of good information about IDFs and how to rebuild
them tune & troubleshoot them.
I think it's better than the Weber Haynes manuals.
