power valve would have no effect on gas leaking in thru tubes, has to be fuel level rising after shut down, either fuel pressure, needle/seats, floats, etc..power would leak thru baseplate....Rob

My 850s both had the black floats and the epoxy that holds the weights in came off and the nedel and seat got cloged this year put metal floats in I beleve it was a fuel problem.

Rich,before rebuild we did pull some unexplained crap out of needle and seat which was weird considering fuel filter was clean.
