Thanks to keith williams (keith0alan) I was able to replace my worn and torn
float chamber gaskets with clean, new ones. Screwed the tops back on and no
more fuel squirting out the gap. BUT, as murphy's law dictates, a new problem
arose. Fuel started spurting out the overflow of the second again. Fast
forward to the problem: when the spring-loaded needle is shut, fuel flow
should halt, but mine seems to be dribbling fuel out even when I press up on
the lever. I can't see any foreign particles in there, so is there another
potential problem? I'm going to go ahead and see how much of it I can safely
dismantle tonite (it'll be a fun learning experience too, as I also just
recently broke down and am polishing my piaggio ciao's carb :) but I'd also
appreciate any advice on what to look for...or maybe pointers regarding what
the problem might be.
