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.

i'm glad they're working for you. everybody else has put them in the category of a neat part that ought to work great - but doesn't ...
