It’s a one barrel, Autoline C936. After driving, the side of the carb is wet as if the bowl gasket is leaking. Carb float not set right?

That would be my guess.

I think that holds true in most situations, however, there’s a tab on most floats and if it is bent too far one way or the other it can affect the fuel bowl level.

I think I fixed the gas leak at the carb - float bowl adjustment.
Now to move the fuel filter.
