Not sure if I am overthinking this or not, but can the level-ness of the engine/carb affect how the float bowl functions? The reason I ask is that I dropped my front end 6" (3" axle and 3" springs) then dropped the rear 3" with springs which creates a slightly nose down stance. This got me to wondering if that could possibly cause a perfectly well set up carb float to leak fuel toward the front (mine does this). When I checked the engine level it read -2 degrees instead of dead level.

I realize that the leak could be caused by a bad float needle, a warped top, or both and I'm running down those items now with a rebuild kit. The engine is a 1954 235 with a Rochester B.
