The bowl plugs are leaking. They are located on the underside of carb to the center rear of the throttle plates. If you don't intend to overhaul the carb again you can clean the wells real good and fill them with JB weld that will stop them from leaking otherwise there is a kit made for repairing them last time I got one they were 36bucks and came with the throttle shaft repair also

Yes you need to pull the carb and turn it over, remove the base plate to get to the plugs.
There are 4 plugs under there that need a little coat of JB weld on them, dont put too much or the base will not tighten down correct and flat against the body of the carb.
Also, make sure you have the correct fuel filter, they make the long style in 2 versions, one with a anti drainback valve in it and 1 without. You want the one with
Sometimes this will cause the bowl to drain.
