Gas pouring out of carb

I had the same thing on my /6 with Carter BBS last summer. Took the top off the carb and removed the brass float and shook it. Uh oh, it was leaking and gas was inside causing it to be heavy enough that the needle wouldn't seal against the seat.
I drilled a small hole and shook the gas out and redoldered the seam and also my drain hole. Seemed to work but meanwhile I ordered a new float from Daytona Carb. Sure enough it did it again so I installed the new float and everything should be good for another 50 years. This could be a result of the gas they make us buy eating stuff up.
