Default RE: Moki 180 Fuel problems

Jim:
Thanks for your input. I did a test after I ran the engine, I put a piece of tubing on the carb. and could air through it, then I closed the needle valve, and I could not blow air through it. That tells me the spray bar is ok, or did I miss something? When I tipped the plane on it's nose, the needle valve was where it was set when running, opened about 3 turns. I would expect a small amount of fuel to come out, but it was like there was no needle valvein to begin with, I really couldn't see where the fuel was leaking out, just to much everywhere.
As I mentioned, I did pull the carb and reseated the "O" ring prior to this.
