Default Sachs 4.2 Carb Issue

Hey Guys,
I have a Sachs 4.2 that I can get to run from midrange up but it won't idle for nothing! Ralph Cunningham replaced the bearings and set the timing but I did not ask him to run it before he sent it back to me. There is a Walbro WJ1D carb on the engine and it too has been rebuilt and thorughly cleaned. When the engine is running it continues to leak fuel through the carb intake, this I figure is my problem. I'd just go out and buy a new WJ1D carb but they don't make em' anymore and the problem with putting a different carb on, say a Walbro HDA48, is that the pump hole would not line up with the carb spacer. And yes, I have tried every conceivable needle position in my attempt to get this beast to idle. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
