Sounds like they are junk. Go ahead and send them to me and I'll even cover shipping. J/K You either have a bad needle and seat or a piece of crud has found it's way onto the seat. Try taking out the plug of the leaking carb, hold a white cloth under the bowl and open the petcock. It might have enough flow to rinse out the chunk of whatever is in there. This has worked a couple of times for me. If it doesn't work you have to pull the carbs off to have a look. Also do you have an in line filter? If not get one.
I fixed it, so it seems. I did exactly what you said. So on my lunch break I went outside pulled the drain plug, turned on petcock for about 15 sec then turned it off. Put plug back in and waited a few min and no more leak!!! Thanks for your help bro!!!
