right now with the stand, the tank sits up a couple inches higher than the needle, and in the airplane the ideal place would be the half = needle of carb ?
thanks
Your carb is not leaking your are flooding it with an excessively high tank mounting. It makes no differance the tank center to spraybar (needle valve) relationship needs to remain the same: mounted in the stand, the airplane, upside down, sideways or upright.
The tank centerline level with the Spray bar (needle valve) or just slightly lower is the ideal relationship.
