Double check and make SURE you have the float adjusted correctly.
You did replace the needle and seat, correct?
Your carb kit should have included those parts.
Did you check the float to be sure it actually sill FLOATED?
If it had a leak and was full of gas or water it darn sure is not going to float and shut the flow of gas off like it is meant to do.
Always check for correct float adjustment when the carb is apart for any reason

Hey, I'm back with more carburetor issues. I rebuilt the carburetor with a kit from i save tractors.com and now it leaking out the front of the carburetor onto the air filter. Then onto the ground, so what would be the cause of this issue? I'm thinking of just replacing the entire carburetor because I keep having issues with this 50 year old carb. I see i save tractors.com sells the carburetor any thoughts on this will be a great help. I also attached some pictures as well. Another thing i don't understand is how it leaked at least a gallon of gas onto the ground, when the fuel shut off valve was shut tight on the fuel sediment bowl.View attachment 158970

The only way gas could be overflowing out of the carburetor bowl is if the needle valve is not sealing against the seat.
Issues may be:
* float is leaking causing it to sink.
* float is terribly out of adjustment
* Needle valve isn't on the Float correctly.
Gas is flowing out carb with valve shut off:
Its a new sediment bowl, isnt it? Sounds like a bad valve. With the gas line off the carb, does gas free-flow out of the gas line with the valve off?
I would take the carb bowl off, while the carb is on the engine. Let gas flow to carb, then lift the Float to see if it will shut off the gas.

Yes, my carburetor rebuild kit came with a new needle and seat which i replaced. I did tightened the valve on fuel sediment bowl and it now stops 99% of the fuel. I have included a video of my testing of the carburetor and an image of what the float looks like.
