I got fed up with rusty gas that looked like strong tea, so I replaced the entire fuel system on my 53 one ton. When I fired it up, it ran well, but a lot of fuel would run out of the overhauled carb after shutdown. It's a little concerning with the hot exhaust being right there. I pulled the top of the carb off to check the needle and seat. There appeared to be a tiny bit of a metal filing on the seat. I blew it out, and also checked the float height. Seemed ok so I left it as is. Put her back together, and voila, works great! Someone here compared the float operation to a toilet - I think that's a perfect way to describe it!
Making it run and having fun!
