My 1970 volkswagen bug carburetor leaks We replaced the float valve. The carburetor softly gurgles. The gas appears on the bottom of the throttle linkage and at the base. How do we fix it?

What if your float is not floating? Food for thought...

If your float has gone bad then it wil not give enough force to close the Float Valve. Get a new float. If this does not fix it then the float valve you got is defective.
