The level of the jet bridge at the base of the carb is lower than the top
of the float and the fuel will seep out of the jet, around the needle, down
into the manifold and out the tubes way before it will actually fill the
float bowl.

    The fuel is definitely dripping from the manifold drip tubes, not
    the float chamber tubes. If as Alan suggested that the float jets
    may be dirty or worn or the float level set incorrectly or Larry&#39;s
    suggestion of floats sinking, wouldn&#39;t the fuel be dripping out of
    the float chamber overflow pipes instead?<br>

I&#39;m getting a small amount of fuel dripping out from the intake manifol=

drip pipes from my BJ7 when idling. What causes that? The engine is=20
running well and it doesn&#39;t appear to be on the rich side.
Thanks,
