I opened my carb. Soaked it overnight. Looking at the float needle seat you can see PO had a screwdriver in there. Do you think the seat is destroyed? Can I recondition? Is this bushing replaceable or do I need a new carb body.
PO states carb pours gas out bottom.
It doesn't look too bad but can I use a drill bit or something to clean the seat up? The float is plastic and doesn't look easily adjustable.

I lightly resurfaced the seat with a drill bit by hand.
